KOLKATA – Two years after signing a management contract, ITC Ltd finally opened its newest upscale hotel under the Welcomhotel brand at Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh on Thursday.
The 122-room property, located near tourist attractions such as the Madan Mahal Fort, Bhedaghat, and Rana Durgawati Museum, is owned by A.R.V. Hotels Pvt. Ltd. ITC will manage and operate the hotel under an agreement.
Spanning over 15,000 sq. ft. of banquet space including outdoor and indoor, the hotel will focus on patrons seeking destination weddings, grand and intimate gatherings and corporate events. The contemporary hotel embodies traditional architecture and offers a blend of modern comfort with views of the city's natural beauty, ITC said in a statement.
The hotel's dining options include WelcomCaf Reva, an all-day dining restaurant, Dough & Co., which offers freshly baked treats and an assortment of premium beverages, gourmet coffee and tea. The WelcomSthalika restaurant in the hotel features a traditional thali comprising local delicacies such as 'chakki ka saag' and 'dudhi halwa'. Welcomhotel Jabalpur also offers recreational and well-being spaces including a fitness centre, swimming pool and soon-to-open 'K by Kaya Kalp' spa, offering a range of traditional therapies.
The hotel is also offering guided tours to the marble cliffs of Bhedaghat and Dhuandhar waterfalls, while also visiting the ancient Chausath Yogini Temple. National parks like Kanha, Panna, Pench, and Bandhavgarh are located at about three-to-five hours from the hotel, ITC said in the statement. Travellers can enjoy a safari to Dumna Nature reserve, which is located 18 km from the hotel.
"Welcomhotel brand trajectory is growing fast across both business and leisure locations," said Anil Chadha, chief executive, at ITC Hotels. "This property aligns with the spirit of brand Welcomhotel--each designed to reflect the essence of its region, ensuring that guests enjoy an authentic and enriching stay."
After opening premium and luxury hotels in the metro cities, ITC Hotels has been focussing on expanding its presence in upcountry locations which are primarily tourist spots or have a commercial catchment area like proximity to industrial clusters.
At 1300 IST, shares of ITC traded flat at INR 478.0 rupees on the National Stock Exchange.
