Dear Guest,
Namaste!
We take great pleasure in welcoming you to ITC Grand Central, Mumbai- A Luxury Collection
Hotel.
These are unprecedented times and as always, our greatest priority is your safety and well-
Bhagwan Balani being. With this in mind, we have crafted a new initiative called We Assure. This programme

enhance the existing cleaning protocols across ITC Hotels, allowing you to enjoy your
visit, reduce your concerns regarding hygiene and safety, without any compromise on the
established quality of service experiences and standards.
The programme is also designed to address the well-being and safety of all ITC Hotel
associates. They have all been specially trained in their personal, social and workplace
conduct and the precautions they must take. In addition, each of them is undergoing a
hygiene certification programme.
We are working closely with medical professionals and international disinfection experts
like the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers and with DNV
GL Business Assurance, one of the world’s leading certification bodies, which will help ITC
Hotels achieve higher levels of maturity around all facets of operations. And we are bringing
thought leadership in the programme by partnering with the ITC brand Savlon, a trusted
name in germ protection.
I trust that you are comfortable in your room and has been made familiar with its features.
Please do call the WelcomAssistance from your room telephone for any further assistance,
to make table reservations at our signature restaurants or book an appointment at our spa
or salon.
At ITC Grand Central we are committed to a motto of “Responsible Luxury” and have adopted
several green initiatives that harness the elements of nature in an inspired setting, to deliver
unique guest experiences. ITC Grand Central expresses its character through a fine blend
of Raj era and contemporary design. The city’s British Colonial style is eloquently reflected in
the architecture of the hotel, transporting guests to a bygone era, where the unmistakable
stamp of European architecture etches the most glorious silhouettes against the city’s skyline.
Whilst, I am confident that your stay here will be truly delightful however should you wish
to reach out to me personally please feel free to connect with me at the email address
