The hotel chain works on a philosophy of "Responsible Luxury"[10] and each hotel in the chain has a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum rating.[11]
Originally incorporated as Rama Hotels Pvt Ltd in 1972[12] and renamed Vishwarama Hotels in 1973. The Vazir Sultan Tobacco Co Ltd. (VST Industries) bought Vishwarama Hotels in 1980-1981 and soon after, in 1982, the first luxury hotel for the new chain opened in Bangalore.
In 1984, ITC Ltd. bought the entire equity capital from VST. In 1985 the Indian government awarded the Hotel that would later become the ITC Gardenia a five star rating.[13]
The company name was changed from ITC Ltd. to ITC Hotels in 1986.
