Indian Hotels Company (IHC) will further expand its chain of Vivanta by Taj-branded properties next month.

Vivanta by Taj - Gurgaon, located 30km south of the Indian capital New Delhi, is scheduled to open on 7 March and will have 189 bedrooms.

Designed by Singapore-based architecture firm WOW Architects | Warner Wong Design, the hotel will house a Jiva Spa, which offers signature treatments combining ancient Indian techniques with contemporary therapies.

Designed as an urban retreat - owing to the hotel's location in the middle of a bustling business ditsrict - the spa's interior will be based on a series of atmospheric spaces, combining soft edges and carefully selected materials, detailed together with lighting and textured walls.

The spa will use only pure Indian herbs, aromatherapy oils and all-natural creams in its treatment menu.

Facilities will include a number of private treatment rooms, relaxation areas and a fitness zone. Spa cuisine will also be available to guests.

IHC is a subsidiary of the TATA Group. There are currently 26 Vivanta by Taj hotels in Asia - with 24 in India and one each in the Maldives and Sri Lanka.
