Putin India Visit 2025: The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, landed in New Delhi today on a two-day visit and in consequence, the centre of attention has shifted to ITC Maurya.
The hotel is under unprecedented security control, all hotel rooms have been reserved, corridors have been closed with barricades, and entry points have been closed with tight security controls.
Various agencies have also deployed rapid-response units and access-control grids that can be used to ensure that the visit does not go off-hand.
According to DNA India, Putin will spend the night in the most upmarket and luxurious suite in ITC Maurya: the Chanakya Suite, during this major diplomatic visit.
The Chanakya is often compared to the other ultra-premium offering of the hotel, Chandragupta Suite, and is so generally considered the crown jewel of the hotel.
The suite, occupying a total area of 4,600 square fee,t charges an average of ₹8-10 lakh each night, and this price follows its high position and heritage-style majesty.
The Chanakya Suite interiors are equal parts of royal Indianism and luxury of that time. Walls which are silk-panelled, decorated with art, dark wooden flooring with priceless paintings including the work of acknowledged artists such as Tyeb Mehta create an impression of eternal beauty.
Even artistic motifs based on the ancient Indian treatises such as the Arthashastra contribute to thematic richness of the suite.
The luxury is further spread to the dining establishment where there will be meals served on elegant Villeroy and Boch crockery and Cristal De Paris glassware to give one a classy dining experience.
The Chanakya Suite at ITC Maurya features a master bedroom, a 12-seat dining room, a personal gym, a steam room and a sauna. The 4600 sq ft presidential suite is a perfect fusion of Indian heritage and modern luxury including the hand carved interiors, silk panelled walling, dark wood flooring and the invaluable artifacts and the custom made services offered to the high profile guests.
The Chanakya Suite provides every possible type of luxury and comfort, adjusted to the high-profile customers.
A master bedroom with walk in closet, a personal steam room and sauna, full equipped gym, large reception, living room, a 12 seater formal dinning room during formal dinners or meetings, an extra guest room, study, office space, a great deal with the royal Indian heritage with contemporary comfort.
Essentially, the suite acts like a palace without a palace and offers both pomp and privacy, which suits the heads of state.
