Imagine this: You are on vacation at a luxury hotel. You are lounging by the pool and you get hungry.

Usually, this is the part where the “mental math” begins. You pick up the menu, wince at the ₹1200 price tag for a sandwich, and instinctively unlock your phone to check if Swiggy or Zomato delivers to the hotel gate. Or maybe you open EazyDiner to see if there is a credit card offer to soften the blow of the dinner bill.

It kills the vibe, doesn’t it?

Enter the ClubITC Master Key. It is ITC’s answer to the “all-inclusive” concept, and it might just be the best way to turn your brain off and actually enjoy a holiday. Whether you are doing a staycation in New Delhi or a retreat in the Andamans, this package is designed so you can leave your wallet in the room safe.

Here is everything you need to know about the offer that promises to end “bill shock.”

What is the ClubITC Master Key?

In simple terms, Master Key is a bundled rate that includes your room, all your major meals, drinks (during specific hours), and even snacks.

Most hotels in India offer “CP” (Breakfast only) or “MAP” (Breakfast + one meal). The Master Key goes a step further. It is designed for the traveler who wants to check in and not swipe their credit card again until checkout.

The Inclusions: What Do You Actually Get?

The list of inclusions is surprisingly generous. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the perks that usually cost extra.

• All Meals Sorted: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner at the main All-Day Dining restaurant (The Coffee Shop). No looking at the right side of the menu.
• The “Luxury Hours” (Drinks): This is the highlight. You get unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages at designated venues during two prime windows:
  • Lunch: 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM
  • Dinner: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
• Late Night Munchies: Snacks at the lounge are covered from 11:00 AM all the way to 2:00 AM.
• The Mini Bar: The in-room refreshment center is replenished once daily with soft drinks and snacks.
• Double the Points: If you are a miles/points chaser, this is huge. You earn 100% Bonus Green Points on top of your standard tier earnings.
• Relaxation: A flat 25% discount on Spa and Laundry services.

The MilesCop Verdict: Is it Worth It?

Is the premium price tag justified? Here is the honest take.

Yes, if you hate “Vacation Math.” If you are traveling with family or kids, the value of not saying “no” to a request for juice or a snack is priceless. You don’t have to worry about the final bill inflating with every order. It removes the friction from the luxury experience.

Yes, for the Points. For Club ITC loyalists, the 100% bonus points are a serious rebate. If you are a Platinum member, you are essentially getting a 10% return on your spend in Green Points (which are effectively cash at ITC hotels).

The “But”: Know the Limits. It is “All-Inclusive,” but not “Unlimited 24/7.”

• The Alcohol Window: If you want a beer at 4:00 PM by the pool, you pay for it. The free drinks are strictly 12-2 PM and 6-8 PM.
• The Venue: You are generally restricted to the Buffet/Coffee Shop. If you want to dine at a specialty restaurant like Peshawri or Dum Pukht, that usually isn’t included.
