Overview & History
ITC Gardenia opened in 2009 as the flagship ITC Hotels property in Bengaluru and is marketed under Marriott's Luxury Collection. The building was among the first hotels in the world to earn LEED Platinum green certification, and that environmental focus is built into the operation rather than bolted on, from water recycling to energy management. Its design draws heavily on garden and nature themes that run through the lobby, public spaces and the rooms themselves, with greenery and natural light used throughout. With 292 rooms, including 20 suites, it remains one of the larger genuine luxury hotels in the city centre and a benchmark for ITC's 'Responsible Luxury' positioning.
The hotel sits in the Shanthala Nagar district of the central business district, putting it within walking distance of UB City and a short drive of most of the commercial and government heart of Bengaluru. Over more than a decade it has established itself as a fixture for visiting executives, weddings and the city's dining scene.
Location & Getting There
The address is No. 1, Residency Road, Shanthala Nagar, postal code 560025. Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) lies roughly 37 km north in Devanahalli; allow about 75 minutes by car, and considerably longer in peak traffic, so it is worth building in a buffer for flights. The nearest Namma Metro station is Cubbon Park on the Purple Line, around 1.2 km away, with MG Road station a little further. UB City Mall is about 500 metres away and Cubbon Park around 800 metres, making the hotel a practical base for both business and sightseeing without long transfers. The hotel arranges airport pick-ups and has a travel desk for onward arrangements.
Rooms & Suites
Rooms start at the Executive Club category and rise through Towers rooms with private check-in and lounge access, up to the Luxury Suites. The hotel also runs an Eva floor reserved for women travellers, with added security and tailored amenities, a feature that has been part of the property since its early years. Many rooms have private balconies and garden or city views. Decor is contemporary with natural materials, generous bathrooms and the soft, plant-led palette that gives the hotel its name. Several suites are fitted with a massage chair, and Towers and Club guests enjoy lounge breakfast and evening service.
Dining
Dining is a genuine strength here, and several outlets draw a city crowd as much as hotel guests. Cubbon Pavilion is the 24-hour all-day restaurant with a broad Indian and international spread; Kebabs & Kurries serves North Indian and kebab specialities from the kitchens that built ITC's reputation in this field; Edo is the long-running Japanese restaurant and bar; and CAJSA offers global fine dining. Lotus Pavilion is the multi-pillared lounge bar with an extensive beverage list and an a la carte menu that runs late. Between them they cover everything from a working lunch to a celebratory dinner.
Amenities & Facilities
The Kaya Kalp spa offers a full treatment menu drawing on Indian and Western therapies, and there is an outdoor pool and a 24-hour fitness centre. Other facilities include a business centre, concierge and travel desk, high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, currency exchange and airport transfers on request. As a green-certified building, the hotel emphasises energy and water efficiency across its operations, and that ethos extends to its sourcing and waste practices.
Meetings, Weddings & Events
ITC Gardenia has substantial banqueting and convention capacity, with pillared halls, ballrooms and smaller meeting rooms that handle conferences, product launches and large weddings. The central location and on-site catering from the hotel's own kitchens, including its acclaimed Indian and global cuisines, make it a frequent choice for corporate events and society weddings. Dedicated event teams manage planning, audio-visual and production for gatherings of varying scale.
The Neighbourhood
Residency Road and the surrounding CBD put UB City's luxury retail, Cubbon Park, Vidhana Soudha and MG Road all within a short radius. Lalbagh Botanical Garden is about 3 km away, and Commercial Street's shopping is a short drive. The area is dense with restaurants, offices and shopping, and the metro link at Cubbon Park gives car-free access across the city. For visitors who want to combine work with a little exploring, few central addresses are better placed.
Who It's Best For
The hotel suits luxury leisure guests who want a central, green-certified address, corporate travellers working in the CBD, and organisers of large weddings or conventions who need real banqueting capacity. Its strong line-up of restaurants also makes it a destination for diners independent of a room booking, and the Eva floor adds a thoughtful option for women travelling alone. Couples and families looking for a city-centre staycation will find the spa, pool and dining enough to fill a weekend without leaving the property, while the metro and UB City on the doorstep keep the wider city within easy reach.
