With 104 keys, expansive banqueting spaces and a location along National Highway 48, the upcoming Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels Manesar Gurugram signals the growing appeal of destinations that bring business, celebrations and leisure under one roof.

India’s hospitality landscape is expanding beyond its established urban centres, with emerging business corridors increasingly attracting investments in premium stays, destination weddings and large-scale events. Adding to this momentum, ITC Hotels Limited has signed a new 104-key Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels in Manesar, Gurugram, strengthening its presence in the National Capital Region.

Announced on 16 October 2026, the signing marks another step in the company’s asset-right growth strategy, with the upcoming property designed to serve business travellers, leisure guests, wedding celebrations and social gatherings. The development also reflects Manesar’s growing relevance as an economic destination, where industrial expansion and improving connectivity are creating fresh opportunities for the hospitality sector.

Where Business Meets the Art of Hospitality

Positioned along National Highway 48, Welcomhotel Manesar Gurugram will bring together contemporary accommodation, dining and event facilities in a setting framed by the Aravalli landscape. The property is planned to feature elegantly appointed rooms and suites, an all-day dining restaurant, a bar, a lounge and recreational spaces.

Its event infrastructure is set to be a defining feature. With more than 18,000 square feet of indoor banqueting space and 22,000 square feet of outdoor event space, the hotel is being positioned to accommodate weddings, conferences, exhibitions and large-format social occasions.

The proposition reflects an increasingly important dimension of modern hospitality: hotels are no longer simply places to stay, but destinations in their own right. From corporate gatherings and milestone celebrations to extended leisure weekends, properties that combine accommodation with versatile event spaces are well placed to serve multiple guest needs.

For the Welcomhotel brand, the Manesar signing adds to a portfolio strategy that seeks to bring premium hospitality to locations with evolving business and leisure demand.

The Changing Appeal of Manesar

Located in Haryana, Manesar has developed into a significant industrial and commercial corridor, supported by automotive and auto-component manufacturing, warehousing, logistics parks and expanding commercial activity.

Its location along NH-48 offers connectivity to major economic centres across the National Capital Region, including Delhi, Gurugram, Noida and Faridabad. Against this backdrop, the upcoming hotel is expected to cater to a mix of corporate demand and social events, while offering an alternative to more congested city-centre settings.

The destination’s combination of commercial activity and proximity to the Aravalli landscape also creates opportunities for hospitality experiences that extend beyond conventional business travel. Weddings, conferences and leisure stays can all benefit from a venue that offers accessibility alongside a more destination-oriented atmosphere.

As hospitality investment increasingly follows the movement of businesses, infrastructure and new consumer preferences, Manesar represents the kind of emerging market that hotel operators are looking to develop.

A Strategic Addition to ITC Hotels’ Portfolio

Commenting on the signing, 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.”

The development is also a partnership with Green Path Prop Mart LLP. Speaking on the association, Sushil Singh Chauhan, Partner, Green Path Prop Mart LLP, said, “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.”

Upon completion, Welcomhotel Manesar Gurugram is expected to offer a combination of premium accommodation, wellness facilities, varied dining experiences and expansive event spaces. The property’s opening timeline has not been specified in the announcement.

Looking Ahead: The Next Chapter of Indian Hospitality

The signing comes as ITC Hotels Limited continues to expand its presence across India and beyond. With a portfolio spanning more than 155 hotels, over 14,200 keys and upwards of 95 destinations, the company operates across luxury, premium, boutique, upscale and heritage hospitality segments through its distinct brands.

Its portfolio includes ITC Hotels, Mementos, Epiq Collection, Welcomhotel, Storii, Fortune and WelcomHeritage. The company also highlights its focus on responsible hospitality, environmental stewardship, culinary innovation and the celebration of Indian culture.

With Welcomhotel Manesar Gurugram, the emphasis is on a destination where commercial growth and social occasions converge. As the National Capital Region continues to evolve, the new signing underscores a broader shift in hospitality investment: the future of premium stays may increasingly be shaped not only by established city centres, but also by the corridors connecting business, lifestyle and leisure.
