History
ITC Mughal, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, sits on some 23 acres of Mughal-style gardens close to the Taj Mahal in Agra. Constructed in 1976, it opened as the Mughal Sheraton, the second hotel of the Indian Tobacco Company (ITC), and was designed by the ARCOP Design Group - architects Ramesh Khosla, Ranjit Sabikhi and Ajoy Chaudhury - with landscape by Ravindra Bhan and interiors by Anil Verma. Drawing on the red-sandstone-and-white-marble vocabulary of Fatehpur Sikri and the Taj, its guest rooms are arranged around three courtyards in two-storey quadrangles linked by pedestrian bridges.
The hotel earned the first Aga Khan Award for Architecture given to a project in India, in the 1978-80 award cycle, and remains the only Indian hotel to hold the honour. Over the years the Mughal Sheraton became ITC Mughal and later joined Marriott's Luxury Collection soft brand. Today it offers around 233 rooms and suites, is LEED Platinum certified, and houses the Kaya Kalp spa.
