ITC Hotels Launches Welcomhotel Bodh Gaya – Bihar’s New Landmark for Luxury and Conventions

ITC Hotels Limited announced the opening of Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Bodh Gaya, Hotel & Convention Centre, marking a significant milestone in the group’s expansion across India’s eastern region. Spread across 18 acres of tranquil landscape, the new property features 98 well-appointed rooms and suites, complemented by world-class banquet and convention facilities designed to redefine MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) activity in Bihar.

Setting a New Benchmark in Convention Hospitality

Welcomhotel Bodh Gaya distinguishes itself through one of the largest convention infrastructures in Bihar and East India. Designed to host a wide range of events — from corporate meetings and conferences to weddings, spiritual retreats, and cultural gatherings — the hotel offers versatile, pillarless spaces equipped with advanced technology and elegant interiors.

The Utpala Hall, the property’s flagship venue, showcases modern architecture and flexible seating arrangements suited for both intimate and large-scale gatherings. Together with the Nalanda Hall and the Stupa Auditorium, the convention complex can accommodate between 500 to 2,000 participants, positioning the hotel as a premier destination for large conventions, exhibitions, and social celebrations in the region.
