Krishna GVK Luxury Hotels Ltd (formerly TAJ GVK Hotels & Resorts Ltd) will open its 256-key Taj Yelahanka hotel in Bengaluru on November 20, 2026, following an investment of Rs 500 crore. Located on International Airport Road in North Bengaluru, the property will be operated by The Indian Hotels Company Ltd (IHCL) under the Taj brand through a long-term management agreement.
The hotel will be inaugurated by Karnataka Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar in the presence of company promoters and other dignitaries.
The property is strategically located along Bengaluru’s northern growth corridor, which has a concentration of IT and knowledge parks, multinational companies, including Amazon and Philips, and aerospace businesses. Its location between Kempegowda International Airport and the city centre is expected to cater to corporate, MICE and leisure demand.
Spread across a three-acre site featuring landscaped gardens and mature trees, the hotel will offer 244 rooms, 11 suites and a Presidential Suite, along with a dedicated Taj Club lounge.
Its food and beverage portfolio will comprise Vista, an all-day dining restaurant; Nonya, offering Peranakan-inspired Pan-Asian cuisine; House of Nomad, a rooftop gastro bar with an open terrace; and the Lobby Lounge. Other facilities include the J Wellness Circle spa, swimming pool, open-air jacuzzi and fitness centre.
The hotel will have approximately 40,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor meeting and banqueting space. Its event facilities include a 10,000 sq ft pillarless Grand Ballroom with a 30-foot ceiling, which connects to a pre-function area and banquet lawns to provide 25,000 sq ft of contiguous event space. The property will also feature Ananta, a 3,000 sq ft junior ballroom, and three meeting rooms named Jal, Vana and Vayu.
The hotel is approximately 19 km from Kempegowda International Airport, with an estimated road travel time of 25 minutes. Yelahanka Junction railway station is 2.3 km away, while National Highway 44 provides connectivity to Hebbal and central Bengaluru.
Commenting on the opening, Krishna Bhupal, Joint Managing Director, Krishna GVK Luxury Hotels Ltd, said the property marks the company’s entry into Bengaluru and strengthens its presence in the city’s growing hospitality market.
With the addition of Taj Yelahanka, the company’s portfolio will expand to seven hotels with approximately 1,500 keys. Bhupal also identified an adjacent four-acre land parcel as an opportunity for future expansion, with potential to develop around 350 additional rooms and office space, subject to approvals.
