About Board Room
A Heritage Setting for Focused Gatherings
The Board Room at WelcomHeritage Shivavilas Palace brings together the grandeur of a royal heritage property with the functional demands of professional meetings and intimate gatherings. Shivavilas Palace is a storied property that carries the architectural and cultural legacy of its princely origins, and the Board Room reflects that character — offering a refined, intimate setting that stands apart from the anonymous interiors of a conventional hotel meeting room. The space is suited to high-level corporate meetings, strategic discussions, small board sessions, private briefings, and intimate celebrations where exclusivity and atmosphere are equally important.
The Palace itself operates under the WelcomHeritage collection, a portfolio of heritage properties across India that is affiliated with ITC Hotels. This association brings a recognised standard of hospitality to a space that is, at its core, defined by heritage architecture and a sense of place rather than generic event infrastructure.
The Space and Its Character
The Board Room is an intimate, private venue designed to accommodate smaller groups in an environment that commands attention. The setting draws on the palace's heritage fabric — thoughtful interiors, period-influenced design elements, and the kind of unhurried, attentive service that a royal property is expected to deliver. For corporate clients who want their meetings to carry a sense of occasion — whether a leadership offsite, a confidential negotiation, or a client presentation — the Board Room provides a backdrop that a standard hotel conference room simply cannot replicate.
The space is well-suited to seated boardroom-style configurations, making it appropriate for focused decision-making sessions where the arrangement of the room itself encourages dialogue and clarity. Events teams at WelcomHeritage properties are experienced in tailoring setups to the specific requirements of each booking, and guests can expect coordination support for audiovisual needs, stationery, and catering arrangements.
Heritage Hospitality and Event Planning Support
One of the defining qualities of booking an event space within a WelcomHeritage property is access to the property's full hospitality infrastructure. Guests using the Board Room benefit from the Palace's kitchen and dining services, which can be arranged to serve refreshments, working lunches, or formal dining as part of a wider event itinerary. The property's heritage rooms and suites also make it a natural choice for multi-day offsites or residential retreats, where meeting time can be combined with an overnight stay in a genuinely distinctive setting.
WelcomHeritage Shivavilas Palace appeals to event planners who are looking beyond the predictable — who want a venue where the surroundings themselves become part of the experience. For corporate teams, that means a meeting their guests are unlikely to forget. For social occasions, it means an intimate event held within walls that carry real history. The Board Room is the entry point to all of that, combining professional functionality with the irreplaceable quality of a palace setting.
