Hilton has opened its first lifestyle hotel in India with the launch of Slohh by Roach Bengaluru, the international hospitality company announced July 13. The property also represents the debut of the Curio Collection by Hilton in India, positioning the brand in one of the country’s fastest-growing travel markets.
Where it is and what to expect
Located in Whitefield, a major business and tech corridor of Bengaluru, Slohh by Roach is a 221-key hotel developed in partnership with local boutique developer Roach Lifescapes. The property presents a design-led, locally rooted concept that draws on the architectural and cultural traditions of the Malnad region of the Western Ghats.
- Rooms: 221 keys
- Location: Whitefield, Bengaluru
- Developer partner: Roach Lifescapes
- Brand: Curio Collection by Hilton (first in India)
Design, amenities and guest experience
Slohh by Roach uses a palette and materials intended to evoke the life cycle of a coffee bean and the domestic warmth of Malnad homes. Earthy tones — soft whites, light and deep browns, with accents of dusty pink and rust — are combined with vernacular pitched roofs, carved detailing and natural finishes to create intimate, softly lit public and private spaces.
The property offers an emphasis on wellness and social programming, including a hammam, a temperature-controlled pool, a full-service spa and expansive event spaces designed for both business and leisure gatherings. Hilton frames the hotel as a culturally rooted hospitality experience that mixes local heritage, music-forward programming and contemporary design.

For travelers seeking new design-forward hotels in India, the Curio Collection property provides another option that blends local influences with an international brand standard. For the hospitality industry, the launch demonstrates how global operators are partnering with regional developers to shape properties that emphasize local narratives and experiential amenities.
