What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s a project that’s backed by the Israel-based Dan Hotels, but the Den is homegrown, built, managed, and staffed by locals.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in Whitefield's tech corridor, the hotel provides immediate foot access to multinational corporate campuses and the export promotion park.
The rooms
Sleek rooms lean into modern efficiency, outfitted with state-of-the-art electronics and quiet setups tailored for working travelers.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool sits on a landscaped deck bordered by plumeria trees and cushioned loungers.
The spa
Treatment suites open onto a private garden patio, where therapists perform hot stone bodywork under warm recessed lights.
The gym
Cardio machines and free weights fill the fitness studio, with benches and exercise balls for strength training.
Restaurant
Layla
The rooftop restaurant serves Mediterranean tapas beside an open kitchen, with high windows facing the city skyline.
At the table
The Creek serves world cuisine beside an outdoor patio, and The Nest mixes cocktails along a ribbed stone counter.
How it began
Tel Aviv-based Dan Hotels chose Whitefield for its first project outside Israel, building and staffing the property with local teams.
