ITC Gardenia holds a distinction that matters in the sustainability conversation increasingly showing up in MICE RFQs: it's Asia's first LEED Platinum certified green hotel. Built as a garden within a city, the architecture takes its cues from Bengaluru's natural gardens — interiors and exteriors merge, and the building's ethos runs from Forward to Green, Back to Nature. Energy efficiency, zero solid waste management, and green banqueting are operational realities here, not marketing language.
For operators, the practical case is just as strong: Residency Road positioning in Ashok Nagar puts you in Bengaluru's central business district, the Mysore Hall tops 5,885 sq ft, and there are 4 upper-crust boardrooms with 10-seater capacity each. 292 rooms across Towers (with balcony) and ITC One configurations anchor the room block.

The Mysore Hall in full configuration is your primary conference room — 500 theatre, 210 classroom, 650 reception. It splits into two or three parts, which gives you genuine programme flexibility across plenary and breakout without moving delegates between floors. The Botania Terrace Garden at 731 m² is a standout option for evening receptions and outdoor sessions — 250 reception capacity in an open-air garden setting within a LEED Platinum property is a proposal differentiator.

How to Reach
By Air: Kempegowda International Airport.
By Rail: Bengaluru City Junction Railway Station, Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna, Yesvantpur Junction.
Location context: Residency Road in Ashok Nagar is central Bengaluru. This is the CBD positioning — close to MG Road, UB City, and the commercial cluster. For delegates from across Bengaluru, this is as central as it gets. For fly-in groups, factor in the airport-to-CBD transfer time.
Best For
- Sustainability-focused companies and ESG-certified event mandates (LEED Platinum is a checkable credential)
- C-suite leadership meetings and board offsites (boardroom configuration, ITC One rooms)
- Mid-size corporate conferences (200–500 pax range)
- Evening receptions and programme dinners using the Botania Terrace Garden
- Pharmaceutical and life sciences meetings where F&B quality and Signature Morning/Alert Meets programmes enhance the delegate journey
Operator Tips
- LEED Platinum as a proposal angle: For clients with sustainability reporting requirements, ITC Gardenia is the only LEED Platinum hotel in this segment in Bengaluru. Put that credential in your cover note.
- Mysore Hall splitting: The 2-part and 1-part configurations are properly sized. Mysore Hall 1 Part at 150 reception / 100 theatre works well as a standalone breakout without feeling like a corridor room.
- Wi-Fi is chargeable: Flag this in your cost planning. Negotiate a flat-rate package for delegate Wi-Fi into the overall package rather than leaving it as a per-room billing item.
- No simultaneous translation: Source your interpreting equipment externally and confirm setup logistics — pre-function area and hall dimensions allow for translation booth placement.
- Botania bookings: The Terrace Garden is weather-dependent. Have a contingency plan and confirm the indoor fallback configuration with the venue team when locking the programme.
