The Den Bengaluru, owned by Israel's Dan Hotels chain, has officially joined the LXR Hotels & Resorts collection, a luxury brand under the global Hilton group. This move marks LXR's first entry into the Indian market, a significant expansion for the brand. The hotel, located in Bengaluru's Whitefield district, features 226 rooms, wellness facilities, five dining areas, and extensive event spaces. To enhance guest experience, it offers unique programs like "The Pause Program" for relaxation and "Whitefield Unscripted" for local exploration.

LXR Hotels & Resorts, launched in 2018, curates exclusive independent luxury hotels in sought-after global destinations. India now joins this list with the addition of the Dan Hotels-owned property. Candice D'Cruz, Hilton's Vice President for Luxury Brands in Asia Pacific, stated that the Bengaluru opening signifies a new chapter for LXR, bringing its global perspective to India while reflecting the unique character of Bengaluru and Whitefield. Vinesh Gupta, General Manager of The Den Bengaluru, expressed pride in the partnership with Hilton, noting that joining LXR allows them to build on the hotel's foundation with unique experiences and personalized service, supported by the Hilton Honors loyalty program.

This international expansion by Dan Hotels occurs amidst the chain's recovery efforts in Israel. Following a challenging first quarter impacted by the security situation, which resulted in a loss of approximately NIS 60.5 million, the company significantly reduced its losses in the second quarter (April-June) to about NIS 2.3 million. This contrasts with a profit of approximately NIS 5.4 million in the same period last year. Despite the overall loss, the group's revenue showed strong growth, reaching approximately NIS 418.9 million in the second quarter, a 10.8% increase from NIS 378.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. Hotel operations revenue alone surged by 13.3% to about NIS 318.4 million, largely attributed to the strategic acquisition of the Nomo SoHo hotel in New York earlier this year.
