ITC Gardenia, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Bengaluru

Forty floors of sustainably designed architecture rising above Residency Road make ITC Gardenia, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Bengaluru one of the most recognisable event destinations in South India — and the first hotel in the world to receive the LEED Platinum certification under the New Construction category, a credential that translates directly into cleaner air, better lighting, and higher thermal comfort across every event space in the building. Opened in 2010 and affiliated with Marriott International's Luxury Collection portfolio, the property brings together grand scale and environmental rigour in a way that few comparable facilities in Bengaluru can match.

Versatile Event Floors for Conferences and Large-Format Gatherings in Bengaluru

The flagship Grand Ballroom spans approximately 9,000 square feet and can accommodate up to 650 guests in a floating or cocktail configuration, making it the anchor space for large-scale corporate galas, product launches, and plenary sessions. A dedicated pre-function foyer runs adjacent to the ballroom, providing natural breakout flow for registration desks, exhibition pods, and networking zones before a seated programme begins. Smaller meeting rooms — including the Acacia, Cedar, and Magnolia suites — offer theatre-style and hollow-square configurations suited to board meetings, leadership conclaves, and training workshops. All event floors are equipped with professional AV infrastructure, LED display systems, and high-speed Wi-Fi, supported by an in-house technical crew for ITC Gardenia that handles setup, live switching, and troubleshooting on-site.

Weddings and MICE Events Served by a Full In-House Hospitality Stack

Corporate MICE planners and wedding coordinators approach this property through distinctly different lenses, and the event operations team is structured to serve both. For MICE bookings, dedicated relationship managers assist with RFP processing, floor-plan approvals, and vendor coordination well ahead of the event date. For weddings and social celebrations, the in-house catering covers multi-cuisine banquets — spanning Indian regional, Continental, and Asian menus — with alcohol service available under a licensed model. One practical consideration for planners: the ballroom's single-floor layout means that very large multi-function weddings requiring simultaneous indoor and outdoor spread may find the outdoor terrace options limited compared to resort properties; event designers typically compensate by using the pre-function foyer as a secondary reception zone. The hotel's 291 rooms and suites, including the WelcomSpa and seven food and beverage outlets, allow out-of-town delegates to stay, dine, and recover without leaving the property.

A LEED Platinum Certification That Carries Real Weight for ESG-Conscious Event Planners

ITC Gardenia holds the LEED Platinum certification under the U.S. Green Building Council's New Construction rating system — the highest green building credential available — and was the first hotel globally to earn this distinction at the time of its opening. For corporate planners working under ESG mandates or sustainability reporting requirements, hosting an event at a LEED Platinum-certified facility directly supports scope-3 emissions narratives and responsible procurement documentation. The property's green credentials are verifiable, publicly logged, and often cited in corporate CSR disclosures, removing the due-diligence burden from the planning team.

Planning Your Event at Bengaluru's LEED Platinum Business Hotel

ITC Gardenia sits within Ashok Nagar, approximately 12 kilometres from Kempegowda International Airport and less than one kilometre from the M.G. Road metro station on the Purple Line, which simplifies delegate arrival logistics considerably. Parking for over 300 vehicles is available on-site. Spalba's listing for this property includes verified capacity charts, floor-plan visuals, and direct enquiry tools that allow planners to compare configurations, check availability, and initiate a conversation with the venue's events desk — all from a single dashboard without multiple broker intermediaries.
