Expanding its footprint in India's premium hospitality market, Hilton has introduced its first lifestyle hotel in the country with the launch of Slohh by Roach in Bengaluru. The opening also marks the debut of the Curio Collection by Hilton in India. Developed in partnership with Bengaluru-based boutique real estate company Roach Lifescapes, the 221-key property is located in Whitefield, one of the city's leading business and technology hubs.
Inspired by the coffee estates and residential architecture of the Malnad region in the Western Ghats, Slohh by Roach reflects the journey of a coffee bean through its design language. The interiors feature a warm palette of whites, browns, chocolate tones, dusty pinks and rust hues, while natural materials, pitched roofs and intricate carved details pay homage to the region's architectural heritage.
The hotel offers 221 rooms and suites across seven accommodation categories, with many featuring balconies overlooking Varthur Lake and the Bengaluru skyline. Premium suites, including the expansive Malnad Presidential Suite, provide separate living and dining areas inspired by the traditional plantation homes of Malnad.
Designed to cater to both business and leisure travellers, the property features The Banyan, a 5,000 sq. ft. pillarless ballroom that can host up to 600 guests, complemented by a 3,000 sq. ft. pre-function area, multiple meeting rooms and a boardroom. Wellness amenities include a temperature-controlled outdoor swimming pool, a 24-hour fitness centre, a hammam, a full-service spa, as well as a beauty salon and a dedicated bridal suite for wedding celebrations.
Zubin Saxena, Senior Vice President and Regional Head, South Asia, Hilton, said, “Bengaluru continues to be a key market for Hilton in India, shaped by its strong business ecosystem and evolving 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. The opening of this hotel reflects our ambition to bring globally renowned brands to India in ways that feel deeply relevant to the local market, blending character, authenticity, and the exceptional hospitality that guests expect from Hilton.”
Tal Shefer, Senior Vice President, Brand Management, Asia Pacific, Hilton, said, “Each Curio Collection property is selected for its individual character 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.”
Christina Roach, Founder, Roach Lifescapes, said, “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. The vision has been shaped by our own upbringing and the way we have always experienced hospitality at home, where food was at the heart of every gathering and everyone felt naturally welcome. We wanted to bring that feeling into an urban hotel experience through thoughtful design, food which evokes nostalgia, and service that feels personal, intuitive, and genuinely caring. We are thrilled to partner with Hilton to bring this vision of ours to life through the first Curio Collection hotel in India. The hotel will mirror the spirit of Bengaluru in a way that feels authentic and contemporary, offering guests a stay defined by individuality, creativity and meaningful local connection.”
Dining at the property is centred around Nana's, the all-day restaurant that showcases family-inspired recipes, regional specialties, and seasonal flavours from Karnataka and the Malnad region, complemented by a selection of Indian and international cuisine. The hotel also houses an Executive Club Lounge, offering exclusive services and amenities for both in-house and non-residential guests.
Beyond accommodation and dining, Slohh by Roach offers curated cultural experiences, including a Potter-in-Residence studio and the Grandma's Recipe initiative, which celebrates cherished family recipes and the stories behind them. Public spaces are further enhanced by a carefully curated soundtrack featuring jazz, rhythm & blues (R&B), and timeless classics.
The property is integrated with the Hilton Honors loyalty programme, enabling guests who book directly through Hilton's channels to enjoy member-exclusive benefits such as discounted rates, points earning and redemption, complimentary standard Wi-Fi, digital check-in, room selection, and Digital Key access via the Hilton Honors mobile app.
