IHCL Launches the New Luxury Claridges Collection
IHCL unveils its premium collection of boutique hotels that blend luxury with history.
The Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), known as India’s largest hospitality firm, has unveiled the Claridges Collection, a selection of curated boutique hotels that merge elegance with rich historical heritage.
“With India’s growing economic prominence, the income pyramid is witnessing a structural shift and the demand for luxury products and services is at an all-time high led by significant expansion of households in the high-net worth bracket. This presents a market opportunity to extend hospitality offerings in the luxury segment as consumers are seeking differentiated experiences.”
— Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director and CEO, IHCL
Situated in key gateway cities around the world, the Claridges Collection aims to provide unique and bespoke experiences tailored for discerning travelers.

The collection will launch with The Claridges, New Delhi, followed by historic venues such as Connemera, Chennai, and Blue Diamond, Pune, which is set for an extensive renovation.
“This strategic partnership between IHCL and the iconic Claridges brand marks a significant milestone in expanding Claridges’ legacy of luxury and excellence across India. We believe that this collaboration will redefine industry standards in hospitality,” said Suresh Nanda.
