With 104 rooms, expansive event spaces and access to the Aravalli landscape, the upcoming Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels is set to bring a new dimension to premium hospitality in the National Capital Region.

As the National Capital Region’s hospitality landscape expands beyond its established urban centres, Manesar is emerging as a destination to watch. Once primarily associated with industrial development and corporate activity, the Haryana town is increasingly drawing attention for its connectivity, commercial potential and proximity to Gurugram’s thriving business ecosystem.

Adding to this momentum, ITC Hotels Limited has signed an agreement for Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels Manesar Gurugram, a 104-key property that will strengthen the group’s presence in the region. Announced on 16 October 2026, the development reflects the growing opportunity for premium hospitality in destinations that bring together business travel, social celebrations and leisure experiences.

A New Address for Business and Celebrations

Designed as a contemporary premium hotel, Welcomhotel Manesar Gurugram will cater to business travellers, wedding guests, corporate gatherings and leisure visitors. The property will feature elegantly appointed rooms and suites, alongside an all-day dining restaurant, bar, lounge and recreational spaces.

Its event infrastructure is expected to be a significant draw. Plans include more than 18,000 sq. ft. of indoor banqueting space and 22,000 sq. ft. of outdoor event space, positioning the hotel for weddings, conferences, exhibitions and large-scale social occasions.

In a region where corporate activity and destination celebrations increasingly intersect, the combination of accommodation, dining and extensive event facilities could give the property a distinctive role in the local hospitality market.

The Strategic Appeal of Manesar

Located along National Highway 48, Manesar occupies an important position within the NCR’s industrial and commercial corridor. Its economy is supported by automotive manufacturing, warehousing, logistics infrastructure and expanding commercial development.

The location also offers connectivity to key economic centres across Delhi, Gurugram, Noida and Faridabad. For hospitality operators, this creates an opportunity to serve corporate demand while attracting guests seeking an alternative to the congestion of established city centres.

The surrounding Aravalli landscape adds another dimension to the destination’s appeal, offering a setting that could suit both business-led stays and social occasions that benefit from a more spacious environment.

As travel preferences continue to evolve, destinations such as Manesar are increasingly relevant to hospitality development strategies that look beyond traditional gateway cities.

An Asset-Right Approach to Growth

The signing forms part of ITC Hotels Limited’s asset-right growth strategy, which focuses on expanding its portfolio through an approach designed to support growth while limiting capital intensity.

Commenting on the development, Anil Chadha, Managing Director, ITC Hotels Limited, said, “As hospitality demand continues to evolve beyond traditional gateway cities, we remain focused on identifying destinations that offer strong long-term growth potential. Welcomhotel in Manesar is a strategic addition to our portfolio, bringing together a high-growth location, robust connectivity, and a thriving events market. This signing reinforces our commitment to delivering world-class hospitality experiences in emerging destinations while accelerating the growth of our asset-right portfolio.”

Sushil Singh Chauhan, Partner, Green Path Prop Mart LLP, added, “We are delighted to work with ITC Hotels Limited for the development of Welcomhotel in Manesar. Together, we aim to deliver a distinguished hospitality experience that will serve both business and leisure travellers while contributing to the continued growth in the National Capital Region.”

The Welcomhotel Experience

Welcomhotel occupies the upper-upscale segment of ITC Hotels’ portfolio, bringing together premium accommodation, dining and hospitality experiences. The proposed Manesar property will extend the brand’s reach into a location where corporate requirements and large-format celebrations can generate demand across different seasons.

Upon completion, the hotel is expected to offer a combination of premium accommodation, wellness facilities, diverse dining options and extensive event spaces. These features will place it in a position to address the needs of business travellers as well as guests attending weddings and other social gatherings.

The development also adds to a portfolio built around ITC Hotels’ wider emphasis on service, culinary experiences, Indian hospitality traditions and responsible operations.

Looking Ahead

With more than five decades of hospitality experience and a portfolio spanning over 155 hotels across India, Sri Lanka and Nepal, ITC Hotels continues to expand its presence through distinct brands catering to different market segments.

The Welcomhotel signing in Manesar reflects a broader shift in the geography of Indian hospitality, where emerging commercial corridors are becoming increasingly relevant to premium hotel development.

For Manesar, the proposed property represents another step in its evolution from an industrial hub towards a more diversified destination for business, events and leisure. For travellers and event planners, it signals the arrival of another premium hospitality address within reach of Gurugram.
