Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Bodh Gaya is a recently opened five-star hotel and convention centre in Bodhgaya, the Buddhist pilgrimage town in Bihar. Spread over roughly 18 acres on the Gaya-Bodhgaya road, it combines a leisure and pilgrimage offering with one of the larger convention facilities in the region. The property has 98 rooms and suites, several of which look towards the Mahabodhi Temple, and opened in 2025.
The hotel is about 12 km from Gaya International Airport (GAY), a drive of roughly 25 minutes, and most notably it is only about 1.1 km from the Mahabodhi Temple — within easy reach of the holiest site in the town. Gaya Junction railway station is around 13–14 km away. The setting on 18 landscaped acres keeps the hotel quiet despite its proximity to the temple cluster.
Accommodation runs from Deluxe and Premium rooms, some with Mahabodhi Temple views, to Executive Suites with separate living areas and two Presidential Suites. The signature Presidential Suite has two bedrooms, a private living and dining area, and a balcony facing the temple. Rooms are air-conditioned with contemporary interiors and 24-hour room service.
Dining is led by WelcomCafe Bodhi, the multi-cuisine all-day restaurant overlooking the pool, and WelcomSthalika, a speciality outlet built around regional thalis that celebrate the area's culinary heritage. A bar and lounge complete the line-up, and ITC's catering strength supports the convention business.
Facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a spa, a fitness centre and free Wi-Fi throughout, alongside ITC's responsible-luxury environmental practices. The standout amenity, however, is the convention centre, which makes the hotel a venue for large conferences, religious gatherings and weddings in a town that historically lacked big event infrastructure.
The Mahabodhi Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built around the Bodhi Tree, is barely a kilometre away. The 80-foot Great Buddha Statue, the Thai Monastery and the Royal Bhutan Monastery in the cluster of international monasteries are all within about 2 km. The Sujata Stupa across the Falgu river is roughly 4 km away, and the Vishnupad Temple in Gaya about 14 km off. The hotel works as a base for the wider Buddhist circuit, including Rajgir, Nalanda and Vaishali.
The convention centre and banquet space are central to the hotel's offer, hosting large conferences, MICE groups, religious events and weddings, supported by the brand's catering reputation.
Welcomhotel Bodh Gaya suits Buddhist pilgrims who want a five-star within walking-to-short-drive distance of the Mahabodhi Temple, conference and MICE groups needing a large convention venue, and heritage tourists exploring Bihar's Buddhist sites.
