ITC Hotels to Launch New Luxury Hotel in Patna, Bihar

In a landmark move for Bihar’s tourism and hospitality industry, ITC Hotels Limited has signed definitive agreements with Kumar Infra Hotel Private Limited (KIHPL) to operate a new 140-room luxury hotel in Patna, the capital city of Bihar. This strategic partnership underscores ITC Hotels’ commitment to expanding its luxury footprint in culturally rich destinations across India.

The upcoming hotel, part of a competitive government-led bid to boost tourism infrastructure in Bihar, represents a key milestone for both ITC Hotels and the state’s vision for high-end hospitality and economic development.

Redefining Luxury in Bihar

A Landmark Development on 1.5 Acres in the Heart of Patna

Set on a 1.5-acre site, the hotel will bring ITC’s signature blend of luxury, sustainability, and cultural immersion to Patna. As one of India’s most prominent hospitality brands, ITC Hotels is known for its ability to curate authentic, regionally inspired experiences within the framework of world-class luxury.

The Patna hotel will join ITC’s elite portfolio of luxury properties located in historic and commercial hubs such as Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, Kolkata, Mumbai, Goa, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai.

A New Chapter for Bihar Tourism

Showcasing Regional Culture through ITC’s Signature Style

Anil Chadha, Managing Director, ITC Hotels Limited, shared his excitement about the project:

“It shall be a privilege to showcase our iconic culinary and service excellence in Bihar through this ITC Luxury Hotel. Our properties epitomize the culture and ethos of each destination, offering indigenous experiences while celebrating the rich heritage of the region through distinctive architecture, arts, crafts, and rituals.”

The hotel will offer much more than just a place to stay—it will serve as a gateway to the culture, cuisine, and craftsmanship of Bihar, bringing ITC’s unique "Responsible Luxury" ethos to life in a new market.

Partnering with Vision: Kumar Infra Hotel Private Limited

Public-Private Synergy for Sustainable Tourism Growth

The project is being developed by Kumar Infra Hotel Private Limited (KIHPL), who secured the land and development rights through a Bihar Government tourism initiative. Their selection of ITC Hotels as the operator was based on the brand’s proven expertise in luxury hospitality and destination development.

Manish Kumar, Director at KIHPL, commented:

“We are excited and honoured to have entered into management agreements with ITC Hotels for a new luxury hotel in Patna. It is a matter of pride for us to develop this project with the vision of the Bihar Government to strengthen the commercial and cultural identity of Patna. We look forward to our association with ITC Hotels to develop an iconic project that will elevate the tourism potential and hospitality landscape of Bihar.”

This collaboration reflects a forward-thinking approach to public-private partnerships in tourism, aimed at creating long-term value for the region.

Strategic Importance of Patna in ITC’s Growth Map

Patna is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the political, cultural, and commercial capital of Bihar. As domestic tourism surges across India, destinations like Patna are gaining visibility for their spiritual significance, historical heritage, and rising commercial importance.

By entering Patna, ITC Hotels is not only tapping into a fast-emerging tourism hub, but also contributing to the economic development and global positioning of Bihar as a destination of distinction.

Looking Ahead: A Benchmark for Luxury in Eastern India

With this signing, ITC Hotels continues its focused strategy of:

• Expanding into underserved, high-potential tourism destinations

• Partnering with local developers and state initiatives

• Showcasing region-specific culture through luxury offerings

• Delivering its unique brand of Responsible Luxury

Once operational, the new Patna hotel is expected to set a new benchmark in luxury hospitality for the region, attracting business travellers, tourists, and high-profile events while contributing to local employment and tourism revenue.

Conclusion

The signing of a new luxury hotel in Patna is more than a business deal—it is a cultural and developmental milestone. With ITC Hotels at the helm, the project is poised to bring world-class hospitality, regional storytelling, and sustainable development to one of India’s most historically significant cities.

As Bihar continues to position itself on India’s tourism map, ITC Hotels’ entry into Patna is a timely and strategic step that promises to elevate the state’s hospitality infrastructure and global appeal.
