Located within a mixed-use development, Hilton Garden Inn Hyderabad Kompally will benefit from proximity to Grade A office spaces and retail outlets, as well as connectivity to key business districts via the Outer Ring Road. The hotel will feature 96 guest rooms, an all-day dining restaurant with a bar, and over 10,000 square feet of meeting and event space, offering a reliable and comfortable stay experience for business and leisure travelers alike.

Zubin Saxena, senior vice president and regional head, South Asia, Hilton, said, “Hyderabad continues to evolve as one of India’s most important business and innovation hubs, and for Hilton, it remains a key strategic growth market in South Asia. This signing is particularly significant as it marks our first focused service hotel in the city, further strengthening our presence across Hyderabad’s growing commercial corridors. As the market continues to evolve, we see significant opportunity to serve a wider mix of business and leisure travelers through a more diversified portfolio.”
