“The world’s coolest hotel chain”

16/05/2011

Awarded this enviable accolade by the UK’s Sunday Times in January, this year Alila Hotels celebrates its tenth anniversary.

The name ‘Alila’, which means ‘surprise’ in Sanskrit, is particularly apt as the brand’s hotels offer guests an unforgettable experience, the likes of which they will never have encountered elsewhere. This high-end luxury chain sets itself apart from all others for its highly personalised service, relaxing environments, truly ecological practice, and by offering guests the chance to embark on a journey into the local culture, such as a fishing trip with the locals, or a yoga class with a teacher from the nearby village. Alila currently operates eight city hotels and resorts in exotic Asian destinations that include Bali, Siem Reap and Goa, which are perfect for small meeting groups or truly rewarding incentives of the highest calibre. Over the next few years, the brand will continue its expansion and move into new markets, such as Europe and the Middle East.

Indeed, Alila is commemorating its tenth birthday with the opening of the Alila Bangalore Hotel next month. The city’s first business hotel, it is set in Whitefield, a tranquil area within the business district. It will offer it will offer travellers an unparalleled level of luxury and unrivalled facilities, all in an understated, contemporary and soothing style.

The hotel features 101 rooms as well as 12 SOHO Suites, which include a separate living area that can serve as a private office or even a meeting room, and 7 even larger Leisure Suites. In addition, there are two Alila Residences with a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, a library, and even a maid’s quarters. All have been designed to create a feel that is both modern and warm and inviting, and copious amounts of wood, glass and metal have been used in order to achieve this aim.

On the MICE side, there are three meeting rooms, including a ballroom with a capacity for up to 120 people, all of which feature the latest technology.
