Slohh by Roach is the first Curio Collection by Hilton property to pop open in India. Curio Collection, its Hilton’s global lifestyle brand and it really feels like it, because it’s made up of individually designed hotels, each with its own identity and locally inspired guest moments rather than sticking to some standardised brand template, you know. The Bengaluru property leans into that idea too by weaving regional influences into its architecture, its interiors and its hospitality offerings.

The hotel is run in partnership with Roach Lifescapes Pvt. Ltd., following the franchise arrangement announced in 2023. This kind of teaming up helps Hilton pursue its bigger intent, meaning to further bolster its premium and lifestyle lineup across India, by building key alliances with local developers and hospitality firms.

Hilton has been looking at India as one of its fastest growing markets in the Asia Pacific area. The company is planning to expand, in a pretty noticeable way across the country, over the next years by rolling out new brand options and also bulking up its hotel portfolio in major metro cities, business hubs, and leisure spots. In that context, lifestyle brands like Curio Collection, are expected to actually carry a big share of this expansion effort, or at least thats how it seems right now.
