ITC Hotels Limited (ITCHL) is set to expand its presence in West Bengal with the signing of a management agreement for Mementos by ITC Hotels Siliguri. With this new luxury project, the portfolio of ITCHL in West Bengal now stands at six operating hotels and another six in various stages of development.
