ITC Grand Bharat, Gurugram
Set amidst the Aravalli Range, ITC Grand Bharat is a luxury retreat inspired by the architectural heritage of India. Its design brings together influences from different periods and regions of Indian architecture, creating an environment that combines traditional motifs, detailed craftsmanship and contemporary luxury.
A Retreat Shaped By Indian Design
Spread across an expansive 1.21 million sq. m in Gurugram, ITC Grand Bharat stands as a monumental homage to India’s architectural lineage and cultural heritage. The sprawling retreat brings together 100 plush suites, 4 private Presidential Villas, a signature 27-hole Jack Nicklaus golf course, fine dining destinations, expansive convention spaces, and the renowned 1,951 sq. m Kaya Kalp – The Royal Spa. Drawing deep inspiration from iconic regional milestones—such as the intricate stepwells of Adalaj, the ancient Mukteshwar temple structures of Odisha, the regal palaces of Baroda, and the historic ghats of Varanasi the resort seamlessly weaves traditional motifs with contemporary luxury. Every architectural transition, from grand vaulted corridors to serene water courts, is thoughtfully designed to evoke the timeless splendour of ancient Bharatvarsh.
Beyond its imposing facade, the interior experience of ITC Grand Bharat relies on detailed material selection and superior craftsmanship to balance traditional aesthetic depth with modern endurance. Intricate stone masonry and carved arched pavilions are complemented by rich wood paneling, custom cabinetry, structural millwork, and decorative veneers that lend warmth and acoustic insulation to private sanctuaries and high-traffic public spaces alike. High-grade engineered wood and premium plywood solutions form the underlying foundation for the bespoke furniture, flush doors, and ornate ceiling details throughout the property. This deliberate synthesis of durable material engineering and classic artistry allows the resort to deliver an authentic, luxury heritage experience while standing up to the rigorous demands of a world-class hospitality environment.

The architectural language of ITC Grand Bharat is built around the idea of Bharatvarsh — bringing together diverse expressions of India's cultural and architectural heritage within one destination.
