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. Set to open in November 2026, the hotel will be located on Richmond Road, bringing The Hoxton’s open-house lobby vibes and neighbourhood feel to one of India’s most dynamic cities.
Situated in the heart of Bengaluru, The Hoxton will feature 149 guestrooms with its signature room categories, including Roomy, Biggy, and four HOMEY suites, occupying the top two floors, which will measure 55 sqm and offer sweeping views over the city. Crafted to feel like a true home away from home, rooms will showcase The Hoxton’s signature mix of craftsmanship and native hues that feel comforting, alongside a thoughtful and practical residential design style, with everything guests need and nothing they don’t.
Food and beverage will play a central role in the guest experience. Staying true to The Hoxton’s belief that a hotel lobby should act as the neighbourhood’s living room, the lobby restaurant & bar on the ground floor will serve as the hotel’s social hub from morning through evening – an all-day space designed for everything from relaxed breakfasts and informal meetings to long, lively dinners with friends. As always with The Hoxton, the doors will be open to everyone. On the rooftop, Fi’lia, the acclaimed Italian concept, will make its second appearance in India as the hotel’s pool restaurant & bar. Bringing a vibrant, sun-soaked energy to the top of the building, Fi’lia is set to become a new destination for long lunches, sunset drinks and dinner overlooking Bengaluru’s skyline.
The property will also feature a dedicated meetings and events offering known as The Apartment. Comprising a central pantry and two meeting rooms, The Apartment will provide an intimate setting for smaller gatherings, while a dedicated events space, complete with pre-function and function rooms, will accommodate larger occasions up to 240 pax.
The Hoxton will proudly collaborate with local brands and creative talent. From regular events series, guest chef takeovers, the signature rotating Hox Gallery and the ‘Best of’ collections in our Hox Shop, The Hoxton Bengaluru City will put a spotlight on the abundance of creative local talent in the worlds of art, fashion, music, literature and food and drink from the day it opens its doors.
Bengaluru, known for its entrepreneurial energy, thriving creative community and vibrant cultural life, makes a natural home for The Hoxton. Often described as India’s innovation capital, the city blends global ambition with a strong sense of local identity. The hotel will be designed to connect with the surrounding city streets, creating a space that feels as relevant to the life of Bengaluru as it does to those visiting from further afield.
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 travellers, setting a new standard for urban hospitality in the country.”
The Hoxton launched in 2006 with the opening of its first hotel in London’s vibrant Shoreditch neighbourhood. In 2011, the brand joined Ennismore and was reimagined by Sharan Pasricha, marking the beginning of its international expansion. Rooted in culture and community, the series of open-house hotels now spans 19 properties across the UK, Europe, and the US, with upcoming openings in some of the world’s most exciting urban destinations, including Melbourne, Oslo, Nashville, and Mexico City.
Last year, Accor and InterGlobe announced a strategic alliance to create India’s fastest-growing hospitality enterprise, offering an unmatched network, a portfolio of brands, and distribution across all market segments. With the ambition of capturing India’s booming hospitality market and combining the strengths of global leaders across the industry, the new platform will target a network of 300 hotels under Accor and Ennismore brands by 2030.
