Lifestyle hospitality company Ennismore, in partnership with Accor India and InterGlobe Hotels, has announced the signing of The Hoxton Bengaluru City, marking the brand’s first hotel in India. The company plans to open the property in November 2026 on Richmond Road, thereby bringing The Hoxton’s signature open-house lobby concept and neighborhood-driven hospitality experience to one of India’s most dynamic urban hubs.
Located in the heart of Bengaluru, the hotel will feature 149 guestrooms, including signature categories such as Roomy, Biggy, and four HOMEY suites. Notably, the suites will occupy the top two floors, span 55 square meters, and offer expansive views of the city skyline. The design will reflect The Hoxton’s signature blend of craftsmanship and local aesthetics while maintaining a residential, functional style that prioritizes comfort and practicality.
Moreover, food and beverage will play a central role in shaping the guest experience. The ground-floor lobby restaurant and bar will serve as a social hub throughout the day, thereby aligning with The Hoxton’s philosophy of creating spaces that function as a neighborhood living room. Guests and locals alike will be able to use the space for breakfasts, informal meetings, and extended dining experiences.
In addition, the rooftop will host Fi’lia, the acclaimed Italian dining concept, which will mark its second presence in India. Positioned as a poolside restaurant and bar, Fi’lia will offer a vibrant atmosphere for long lunches, sunset gatherings, and evening dining, while overlooking Bengaluru’s skyline.
The property will also introduce “The Apartment,” a dedicated meetings and events concept comprising a central pantry and two meeting rooms, designed for intimate gatherings. Furthermore, a larger events space with pre-function and function rooms will accommodate events of up to 240 guests, thereby catering to both corporate and social occasions.
Importantly, The Hoxton Bengaluru City will collaborate with local brands and creative talent across art, fashion, music, literature, and food. Through curated programming such as guest chef takeovers, the rotating Hox Gallery, and retail experiences at the Hox Shop, the hotel aims to embed itself deeply within Bengaluru’s cultural ecosystem from day one.
Bengaluru’s strong entrepreneurial ecosystem, creative community, and cultural vibrancy make it a strategic entry point for the brand. Widely recognized as India’s innovation capital, the city offers a unique blend of global outlook and local identity, which aligns closely with The Hoxton’s community-centric philosophy.
Gaurav Bhushan, Group CEO of Ennismore and Chairman of Accor India, said, “India is one of the most exciting hospitality markets in the world right now. The market is ready for a true lifestyle experience, and our approach is simple: build brands that resonate with Indian guests first while maintaining the same global DNA our brands are known for. We are excited that Ennismore will make its debut in India this year, with the hotly anticipated openings of Roswyn Mumbai, a Morgans Originals hotel, and a growing pipeline that includes Delano and Mama Shelter. It has long been our ambition to bring The Hoxton to India, and Bengaluru—with its vibrant cultural scene—feels like the natural first stop to call home.”
Aditya Pande, Group Chief Executive Officer, InterGlobe Enterprises, said, “The entry of The Hoxton into India marks a defining moment in our journey to bring world-class, lifestyle-led hospitality to the country. Bengaluru, with its creative energy and global outlook, is the ideal city for the brand. This signing further strengthens our long partnership with Accor and Ennismore as we work together to meet the evolving needs of the Indian market, where guests are increasingly seeking authentic, design-forward experiences. We are confident that The Hoxton, Bengaluru will resonate deeply with both locals and travelers, setting a new standard for urban hospitality in the country.”
The Hoxton brand launched in 2006 with its first hotel in London’s Shoreditch neighborhood and later joined Ennismore in 2011, when Sharan Pasricha reimagined the brand and accelerated its global expansion. Today, the brand operates 19 properties across the UK, Europe, and the US, while continuing to expand into key international cities such as Melbourne, Oslo, Nashville, and Mexico City.
Additionally, Accor and InterGlobe strengthened their strategic alliance last year to build one of India’s fastest-growing hospitality platforms. Through this partnership, the companies aim to create a network of 300 hotels under Accor and Ennismore brands by 2030, thereby capitalizing on India’s rapidly expanding hospitality market.
With its community-driven approach, strong local integration, and premium positioning, The Hoxton is set to redefine urban hospitality experiences in India while contributing to the evolution of the country’s travel and tourism ecosystem.
