Anniversaries are milestones etched in memories. Three years of excellence isn’t just surviving the test of time—it’s defining it. One such memory that will linger on is my staycation at the Hilton Garden Inn Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park hotel. TheGlitz Exclusive!!   

Hilton Garden Inn

Nestled in the pulsating heart of Bengaluru’s Manyata Business Park, Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn stand as a beacon of luxury for corporate and leisure travellers. The hotel’s strategic location—a mere 30-minute drive from the international airport surrounded by elite tech campuses and the city’s choicest finest dining establishments—offers that rare combination of convenience and sophistication. As a business traveller who values both efficiency and ambiance, I found myself instantly captivated by this thoughtfully positioned urban sanctuary celebrating its third year of excellence.

A warm welcome ceremony that transcended mere formality awaited as I was greeted by the front office duty manager, setting the perfect tone for my 2-day stay. I could tell from the cheerful smiling faces of the staff that they were genuinely happy—not merely performing their duties.

The gentle draping of a richly embroidered Angavastram over my shoulders felt both personal and grand. As a ceremonial tikka was applied with gentle precision, I was handed a masterfully crafted mocktail brimming with summer flavours. The team then guided me to my royal retreat, creating a seamless transition from welcome to wonder.

Guests will genuinely love the elevator system since they’re remarkably quick. Not once did I wait longer than 25 seconds. This is an example of brilliant technology in action. Upon entering, simply scan your room key to automatically navigate to your floor without pressing any buttons. After a long day of meetings, not having to think about which floor button to press was a small but welcome luxury.

Rooms

Comprising 11 levels and 353 rooms, walking the incredibly long, arrow-straight hallway to my room, I couldn’t help but marvel at the sheer scale of Hilton Garden Inn.

I’d been assigned the King Deluxe Suite—the only suite on my entire floor! And thrilled I was. At 635 square feet, it felt like my own private apartment. The bedroom welcomed me with a king-sized bed dressed in crisp white linens that promised (and delivered) blissful sleep. What truly captured my heart were the wooden sliding doors separating the sleeping area from the living space—such a thoughtful touch for those of us who appreciate clear boundaries between rest and relaxation.

The suite’s amenities spoke directly to my needs: a dedicated work desk where I could catch up on emails, a spacious walk-in closet that actually fit all my belongings, and the luxury of 1.5 bathrooms. As someone who’s stayed at countless hotels, that extra half bath makes all the difference, especially for families.

My favourite spot quickly became the window seat overlooking the hotel grounds. From my perch above, I watched guests enjoying meals at the alfresco dining terrace surrounded by meticulously kept gardens. The pathway below buzzed with visitors heading to F5 restaurant through the back entrance, while further out, the business park road hummed with activity. This vibrant slice of life unfolding outside created the perfect counterpoint to my peaceful sanctuary within—connection and separation in perfect balance.

Restaurants

My culinary adventure at Hilton Garden Inn truly began at F5, their vibrant all-day dining restaurant. The space buzzed with energy—business travellers like myself mingling with local tech employees catching up over breakfast and lunch. I was immediately struck by how this wasn’t just a hotel restaurant, but clearly a destination in itself for the neighbourhood.

The food selection was genuinely impressive. Live counters prepared everything from fluffy pancakes and crisp waffles to freshly made parathas. I alternated between local specialties and familiar continental options over my two breakfasts and lunches there. What really stood out was the attentiveness of the staff—Chef Majhar and Avinash seemed to anticipate diners’ needs before they arose, swooping in with remarkable efficiency whenever anyone had special requests. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options were plentiful across multiple cuisines, making each meal a new discovery.

My evening began at Techtonic Bar, where I felt immediately drawn to their signature “Bourbon Peach Tea” cocktail. What arrived was pure mixology magic—Jim Beam perfectly complemented by sweet peach notes instead of traditional tea. That first sip sent my taste buds soaring! I found myself savouring two of these remarkable creations, each one confirming why this drink has earned its stellar reputation. The alfresco ambiance matched the exceptional libations, creating the perfect unwinding space after a busy day.

As night descended, I made my way to Neo Kitchen with heightened expectations. This contemporary food theatre happened to be hosting a Persian Food Festival—what incredible timing! The air was sweet-scented with exotic spices as Chef Azi Karami, flown in specially from Canada, worked her culinary magic. I watched as other diners delighted in her signature mezze plates, fragrant Ash-e-Joo, and succulent kebabs that seemed to transport everyone to the streets of Tehran.

My vegetarian preferences that evening initially seemed challenging, but what followed touched me deeply. Chef Karami—a new mother with unwavering empathy—personally crafted a special mezze plate accompanied by the most authentic Kunafa and Baklava I’d tasted outside of Dubai. Each bite evoked vivid memories of my past Middle Eastern adventures. Chef Karami’s kindness matched her extraordinary talent, leaving an impression far beyond the exceptional flavours she created.

The Property

Kavya Jayaraj from Hilton’s marketing team gave me a personal tour that revealed the property’s thoughtful design philosophy. While primarily serving business travellers, I was impressed by how seamlessly the hotel accommodates leisure guests with families. The strategic interconnectivity with the adjoining Hilton property felt incredibly convenient during my stay.

The meeting spaces particularly caught my attention – ranging from intimate rooms perfect for small gatherings to magnificent pillarless ballrooms that can host up to 1,200 guests. As Kavya guided me through these versatile spaces, I understood why this property dominates the vicinity in both offerings and convenience.

The temperature-controlled outdoor pool proved to be a brilliant feature. While summer visitors might take it for granted, I appreciated how this thoughtful touch extends swimming enjoyment throughout the year, especially during Bengaluru’s cooler months when temperatures dip unexpectedly.

My journey through the property concluded at Tattva Wellness Spa, where I surrendered to a Swedish massage that left me feeling wonderfully renewed. Tetena‘s skilled hands and the exquisite aromatic oils transported me to a state of complete trance, making me lighter in both body and spirit.

Hilton’s Environmental Commitment

Hilton leads the way in sustainability, with a strong focus on reducing environmental impact across its properties. Efforts include minimizing single-use plastic, offering water in glass bottles, generating 80% of power through solar energy, and implementing measures to reduce food waste. Through its “Travel with Purpose” strategy, Hilton is committed to fostering responsible travel and creating positive environmental and social impacts across operations, supply chains, and communities.

A Stellar Triumph

Adding to the celebration of their third anniversary, Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn have secured impressive recognition at the HVS ANAROCK #HASHTAG Awards 2025. Hilton earned the title of Best Upper Upscale Hotel, while Hilton Garden Inn was named Best Midscale Business Hotel—achievements that underscore their commitment to hospitality excellence.

During my visit, General Manager Manish Garg shared, “This award is a recognition of the dedication and hard work of our entire team. Every member plays a crucial role in delivering exceptional hospitality, and this accolade belongs to them.

I could see this commitment first-hand throughout my stay. Since opening, this dual-branded property has consistently elevated the guest experience, making it a preferred destination for business travellers, MICE events, and leisure guests alike. The awards simply confirm what I experienced—thoughtful service that creates memorable moments at every turn.
