Should you take the ITC Culinaire subscription plan?
Let’s examine the pricing of each variant and the value it offers.
Culinaire Classic: The Culinaire Classic subscription plan comes for an annual fee of Rs. 8,500. It offers 2 complimentary buffet meal vouchers, 1 voucher with a 50% discount on group dining (up to 8 guests), 1 voucher with Buy One & Get One on drinks (maximum 4 guests), among others. If all these vouchers are used during the subscription year, they will offer higher savings than the annual subscription fee.
Apart from the vouchers, a Culinaire Classic member can enjoy a 20% discount on dining, laundry (during stays), and spa (during stays) throughout the subscription year. All these benefits can deliver substantial savings. Finally, the Members Day offer and milestone rewards can provide additional value. Thus, the Culinaire Classic subscription plan, when used optimally, delivers substantial value compared to the annual subscription fee.
Culinaire Select: The Culinaire Select subscription plan comes for an annual fee of Rs. 19,000. The plan offers 1 complimentary night stay voucher, valid at all ITC Hotels, Sheraton New Delhi, and select Welcomhotels. There are many ITC Hotels, where one night stay tariff ranges between Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 20,000. So, the complimentary night stay voucher itself can provide substantial value, or even more value than the annual subscription fee.
Along with the complimentary night stay voucher, the other vouchers, 20% discounts on dining, laundry (during stays), and spa (during stays), Members Day offer, and milestone rewards can deliver much higher value than the annual subscription fee.

Culinaire Elite: The Culinaire Elite subscription plan comes for an annual fee of Rs. 29,500. The plan offers 2 X complimentary night stay vouchers, valid at all ITC Hotels, Sheraton New Delhi, and select Welcomhotels. In the earlier section, we understood that there are many ITC Hotels, where a night stay tariff ranges between Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 20,000. When the 2 vouchers are used for staying 2 nights at any of these properties, the member can get more value than the annual subscription fee.
Along with the 2 X complimentary night stay voucher, the other vouchers, 20% discounts on dining, laundry (during stays), and spa (during stays), Members Day offer, and milestone rewards can deliver much higher value than the annual subscription fee.
If a Club ITC member dines regularly at any participating ITC restaurants, without staying there, they may consider the Culinaire Classic subscription plan. Similarly, if a Club ITC member dines regularly at any participating ITC restaurants and occasionally stays at participating ITC Hotels, they may consider the Culinaire Select or Elite subscription plan. If a member chooses a multi-year subscription plan, they can purchase it at a discounted rate compared to the one-year subscription plan.
