ITC’s Hotel Group has announced the signing of its first Storii
property in Kolkata. With the addition of this hotel, the Group will
have nine properties in West Bengal, including four under development.
A
total of three Storii properties are already in operation across India
-- Storii Shanti Morada & Storii Moira Riviera in Goa, and Storii
Amoha Retreat in Dharamsala.
Storii Kolkata is expected to open in
early 2024 and will offer spacious well-appointed rooms and suites with
an all-day dining restaurant and bar and banquet spaces.
The
major attraction of this leisure destination will be the signature K by
Kaya Kalp spa. Surrounded by water bodies, the spa will reflect the
grandeur of ancient Bengal where water pools were an integral element of
design and architecture.
The spa is being developed as an oasis
of tranquillity that leverages the best from India’s ancient traditions
of health and wellness as well as modern rejuvenation programmes.
The
sprawling spa sanctuary brings together all of nature’s elements to
lighten the mood. From the sun sights to a vast aqua ambience surrounded
by fresh open air. The spa will encourage the pursuit of holistic
well-being by offering a conducive relaxation environment with large
treatment rooms offering various therapies, including ayurveda, a
dedicated ‘yogshala’, a meditation room, a swimming pool, fitness centre
and other recreational facilities.
The 30-key resort in South City Retreat District is a 20-minute drive from the Eastern Metropolitan (EM) bypass.
Anil
Chadha, Divisional Chief Executive, ITC Hotels, said, “ITC Hotels
already has a strong presence in Kolkata. Storii by ITC Hotels will
bring a boutique resort offering, away from the hustle and bustle of the
metro life. The addition of this property represents our commitment to
enrich the tourism landscape of Eastern India with each of our
differentiated brands offering a varied choice of experiences to
travellers.”
Ravi Todi, Director, South City Projects (Kolkata)
Limited, said, “South City has had a history of bringing quality
projects, including a mall and school, to the City of Joy. With our
first hospitality venture, we are bringing a world-class boutique resort
with spa that will become the preferred destination for staycations in
and around Kolkata. We believe ITC Hotels will add quality of service
and an eye for detail to our project.”

hand-picked boutique properties, designed to satiate the ever-evolving
needs of the global traveller. Consisting of intimate-sized properties
in the premium segment, Storii by ITC Hotels can be found at both
expected and unexpected destinations, breath-taking locales or sites
