(PRESS RELEASE) BENGALURU, India, 2026-Jul-13 — /Travel PR News/ — Hilton has announced the opening of Slohh by Roach Bengaluru, Curio Collection by Hilton, marking the debut of Curio Collection by Hilton in India and South Asia and Hilton’s first lifestyle hotel in India.

Located in Whitefield, one of Bengaluru’s leading business and technology districts, the 221-room hotel has been developed in partnership with Roach Lifescapes, a Bengaluru-based boutique real estate brand.

Slohh by Roach introduces a design-led hospitality experience rooted in local culture, community and contemporary living. The hotel draws inspiration from the Malnad region in the Western Ghats, reflecting the character of its coffee estates, residential traditions and warm sense of home.

As part of Curio Collection by Hilton, the property joins a global portfolio of individually distinctive hotels selected for their character and connection to place.

The hotel’s design is shaped by the colours and textures of the coffee-growing landscape. Its palette follows the journey of a coffee bean, from soft whites and light browns to deeper chocolate tones, with accents of dusty pink and rust that evoke spice and warmth. Natural materials, vernacular pitched roofs and intricate carved details create intimate, softly lit spaces designed to feel welcoming and familiar.

Zubin Saxena, Senior Vice President and Regional Head, South Asia at Hilton, said Bengaluru remains an important market for Hilton in India, supported by its strong business ecosystem and changing travel demand.

“The debut of Curio Collection in South Asia, marking our first lifestyle offering in India, is a significant milestone as we expand our portfolio to meet growing demand for distinctive, experience-led hospitality,” said Saxena.

He added that the hotel reflects Hilton’s ambition to bring global brands to India in ways that feel locally relevant, combining character, authenticity and Hilton’s hospitality standards.

Slohh by Roach offers 221 rooms and suites across seven categories. Many rooms feature balconies with views of Varthur Lake and the Bengaluru skyline. The hotel’s suites, including the Malnad Presidential Suite, include separate living and dining spaces inspired by plantation homes from the Malnad region.

For weddings, corporate gatherings and social events, the hotel features The Banyan, a 5,000-square-foot pillarless ballroom with capacity for up to 600 guests. The venue is supported by a 3,000-square-foot pre-function area, multiple meeting rooms and a boardroom, as well as a beauty salon and dedicated bridal suite.

The hotel also offers a range of wellness and leisure facilities, including a temperature-controlled outdoor pool, a 24-hour fitness centre, a hammam and a full-service spa.

Tal Shefer, Senior Vice President, Brand Management, Asia Pacific at Hilton, said each Curio Collection property is chosen for its individual identity and sense of place.

“As we bring the brand to India, Slohh by Roach reflects our focus on hotels that are shaped by their surroundings through thoughtful design, curated culinary experiences, and locally inspired programming,” said Shefer.

Dining at the hotel includes Nana’s, an all-day restaurant inspired by family recipes, regional flavours and seasonal cooking traditions from Karnataka and the Malnad belt. The menu also includes comforting dishes from across India and selected global classics.

An Executive Club Lounge, designed for both residential and non-residential guests, adds another dining and social space to the hotel experience.

Culture and community are central to the Slohh by Roach concept. Guest experiences include a Potter-in-Residence studio and culinary initiatives such as Grandma’s Recipe, which brings personal stories and family traditions into the hotel’s food programme.

Music is also an important part of the hotel’s identity. A curated retro-inspired soundtrack of jazz, rhythm and blues and timeless classics plays throughout the hotel’s social spaces, creating a warm and tranquil atmosphere.

Christina Roach, Founder of Roach Lifescapes, said the vision for Slohh by Roach was shaped by ideas of home, food, welcome and personal hospitality.

“With Slohh by Roach, we wanted to create a hotel that feels deeply connected to the way people want to live, making it an experience that guests will remember,” said Roach.

She said the hotel is intended to reflect the spirit of Bengaluru in an authentic and contemporary way, offering guests a stay defined by individuality, creativity and meaningful local connection.
