New Luxury Collection Golf Resort and Royal Spa to Open on the Outskirts of New Delhi

One of India's finest golf resorts and spas, the property is taking shape on the outskirts of New Delhi in the northern region, amid the Aravalli hills. As India's leading destination for holistic wellness and health, the resort will be highly sought after by discerning travelers seeking ITC Hotels' bespoke services, unhurried luxury experiences, warm Indian hospitality and regionally-inspired architecture.

Pioneers of “Responsible Luxury,” ITC Hotels' super-premium Luxury Collection has blazed new trails in sustainable hospitality as the first and only chain with all properties accorded LEED® Platinum certification. The ITC Green Bharat is being built to meet these same rigorous standards, and will provide guests an idyllic getaway that also contributes to a planet-positive ethos.

Blending various Indian architectural influences, the 104-suite ITC Green Bharat is a tribute to India's rich heritage. Two categories of accommodation are on offer:

• Presidential Villas – four palatial residences with private terraces, plunge pools and a personal butler in attendance around the clock.
• Suites – 100 luxurious suites with opulent interiors feature semi-private pools and/or private terraces, butler service and personalized amenities.
Among the world class amenities on the 300-acre ITC Green Bharat estate, one of the most anticipated is the 27-hole signature golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, to make ITC Green Bharat a must on every serious golfer's “to do” list:
• Canyon Course –a spectacular nine-hole course surrounded by a craggy canyon-scape.
• Ridge Course –a nine-hole course amid gently undulating dunes.
• Valley Course –nine holes strategically placed around picturesque lakes.

Non-golfing guests will find plenty of outdoor activities to choose from including nature trails and bird watching. Hotel staff will also be delighted to arrange personalized picnics and world class adventure sports.

Spa enthusiasts and wellness seekers are eagerly awaiting the holistic wellness retreat, a destination in itself, offering India's ancient healing therapies along with modern medicinal rejuvenation techniques, cutting edge spa treatments and high quality fitness facilities.

• ITC's signature Kaya Kalp - The Royal Spa – a magnificent retreat offering beauty treatments and comprehensive spirit, body and mind rejuvenation therapies.
• Customized medicinal healing and cosmetic therapies conducted under expert supervision.
• A total yoga program developed by trained yoga instructors from the prestigious Bihar School of Yoga, complemented by Ayurveda therapies and naturopathic cuisine planning from leading Ayurveda practitioners and certified doctors.
• State-of-the-art fitness center with top-of-the-line equipment, qualified trainers and instructors for all forms and styles of fitness to help guests stay motivated and mindful of their health.

Guests will be able to enjoy periodically scheduled live cultural performances at the open-air amphitheater or billiards, cards, tennis, squash and croquet at “The Village.”
Like ITC's other hotels, ITC Green Bharat will also offer exceptional dining and after hours experiences with two gourmet restaurants and a sophisticated bar. Aravalli Pavilion, the three-meal restaurant, will offer a variety of cuisines; the India Room will serve fine European fare in an elegant setting; and the Peacock Bar will offer a quiet retreat where one can enjoy premium spirits and fine wines from around the world.
“At all ITC hotels, we are committed to providing authentic experiences rooted in local history and culture,” concluded Mr. Anand. “ITC Green Bharat is an international destination which has been guided by the highest ideals of this ancient country's heritage and culture - both past and present, and by ITC's commitment to world class quality.”
