Hilton Hotels has expanded its ‘smart luxury’ brand Conrad with the launch of a second property in India.
Located in Bangalore, Conrad Bengaluru is owned by India-based property developer Prestige Group and will be managed by Hilton under the Conrad brand.
The 285-room hotel features a luxury spa, five restaurants and a health club.
Facilities at the spa include six treatment rooms – including a double suite for couples – sauna, steamroom and an outdoor, temperature-controlled infinity pool overlooking the city.
The spa menu includes a range of massages, from deep-tissue and hot stone massages to Swedish and Thai, as well as aromatherapy and facials.
The location of the hotel in Bangalore – often referred to as India's Silicon Valley – has inspired Hilton to use the latest technology in guest services, with all guestrooms using intuitive motion sensing technology.
Upon sensing motion in the room, the air conditioning switches from energy-saving mode to cool, the curtains in the room automatically open and ambient lighting turns on to match the time of the day.
Guests can also self-calibrate their room temperature and curtain according to their preference.
John Vanderslice, global head, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, said: “Conrad Bengaluru will offer intuitive and customised service and will enhance our fast-growing portfolio of 34 properties."
