ITC Hotels Limited announced the signing of a management agreement for a 101-key Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels in the Karai area of Gandhinagar. This development further enhances ITC Hotels’ footprint in Gujarat—one of India’s fastest-growing industrial hubs while strengthening the Welcomhotel brand’s presence across the state capital and emerging financial cities.
The hotel will feature well-appointed guest rooms and suites, an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty restaurant, and a coffee lounge, —offering diverse and elevated culinary experiences. Set within 9 acres of land, the hotel will provide for over 10,000 square feet of indoor banqueting and event space, complemented by expansive 46,000 square feet of landscaped outdoor lawns. The hotel is ideally positioned to host destination weddings, large social gatherings, and corporate events.
Anil Chadha, Managing Director, ITC Hotels Limited, said, “Gujarat continues to witness sustained growth in tourism, driven by strong infrastructure development, improved connectivity, and growing interest in cultural, spiritual, and leisure travel. Welcomhotel Karai Gandhinagar, with its strategic connectivity and evolving destination appeal, will play a key role in enhancing our network across business, leisure, and the MICE segments, delivering premium hospitality experiences rooted in local ethos.”
Kamleshkumar Babulal Chauhan, Partner, M/s Shyam Group Hotel and Resort, said, “We are pleased to associate with ITC Hotels Limited to introduce the Welcomhotel brand in Gandhinagar city.
