- Both hotels are expected to open in 2030. The investment size has not been disclosed.
- Talks for a further 825 keys are under way, but no operators, sites or dates have been named.
Kalyani Developers, the Bengaluru-based group, said on 27 October 2026 that it plans to add more than 1,400 hotel keys in Bengaluru and Hyderabad over the next two years. The anchor is a Hilton-partnered dual-brand project in Bengaluru with about 600 keys across two hotels.
The Bengaluru anchor
Hilton announced the signing on 6 October 2026. The two hotels will operate under its Conrad Hotels & Resorts and Hilton Hotels & Resorts brands, in partnership with Kalyani. The 27 October announcement places that deal inside the wider expansion target. Hilton positions one hotel in the upper-upscale segment and the Conrad in the luxury segment.
The complex will sit in the KIADB Hi-Tech Defence and Aerospace Park, about 20 minutes from Kempegowda International Airport. Each hotel will have 300 guestrooms. The complex will also have over 72,000 square feet of event space for conferences, corporate gatherings and social events. Both hotels are expected to open in 2030. The investment size has not been disclosed.
Priyanka Raju, Director at Kalyani Developers, said that "Bengaluru and Hyderabad are at the centre of our strategic growth plans for hospitality." The company has said the expansion will complement its real estate portfolio and allow it to take part in markets driven by business travel, tourism, MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) and demand for premium hospitality. Its stated approach is to partner with leading international hotel operators.
Context for the corridor
The park lies in Bagalur and Devanahalli in North Bengaluru, next to the airport. The area already hosts employers including Boeing India, Airbus Technology Centre, Shell R&D Campus, Rolls-Royce and Foxconn. Access is by NH-44 (Bellary Road). The Namma Metro Blue Line extension, with an upcoming Bagalur Cross station, is planned to connect the Devanahalli and Bagalur stretch to the airport and the eastern IT hubs. No opening date for that stretch has been announced.
Kalyani's first Hilton project in the city was DoubleTree by Hilton Bengaluru Whitefield, which opened in 2024. Hilton has said it aims to exceed 400 hotels in India over the next decade, with Bengaluru a key focus. Alan Watts, President, Asia Pacific, Hilton, said the signing represents a significant milestone in strengthening the brand's presence in the city. The Hilton-linked complex would add to a city where the brand already has a large number of hotels.
What is still open
- Hyderabad: no site, brand or opening date has been named.
- Further 825 keys: the company is in talks with international operators, but no operators or locations have been named.
- Investment: the total value of the expanded plan has not been disclosed.
- Timeline: the 1,400-key target runs over two years from 27 October 2026, which points to around late 2028.
For buyers in North Bengaluru, the near-term effect is on the hotel and business-travel base around the airport, not on homes. For investors tracking the company, the key facts are the 1,400-key target and the 2030 opening. The number to watch is the 825 additional keys: once operators and sites are named, the target will show how much of the plan is firm.
