Marriott International and Oberoi Realty sign agreement to open hotels in Mumbai and Thane by 2027-28
The tourism industry got a big boost thanks to the ICC Cricket World Cup and the G20 Summit, both of which were held in India in 2023. Despite the staggered opening of the sector following the COVID-19 restrictions, tourism in the post-pandemic era was slow but gathered steam last year and is expected to grow exponentially in 2024.
To meet the growing demand of discerning Indian travellers, who are willing to spend more on one-of-a-kind experiences, Marriott International has entered into an agreement with Oberoi Realty Limited to debut the hospitality giants' flagship brand, JW Marriott, which will be the third property in the city. Both hotels, the JW Marriott Hotel Thane Garden City and Mumbai Marriott Hotel Sky City are expected to open in 2027-28. The two properties are expected to offer elevated dining experiences and immersive brand programmes that will help locals and travellers indulge in holistic well-being with JW Marriott while they experience the unmatched hospitality of Marriott Hotels.
Situated on the northeastern fringes of Mumbai, JW Marriott Hotel Thane Garden City will boast 280 guestrooms designed with residential aesthetics in mind. The establishment will host three dining venues alongside a comprehensive Lobby Lounge and a Pool Bar. Amenities would include a 25-meter outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, and the renowned Spa by JW. Moreover, the hotel anticipates offering 1,670 square meters of event space, positioning it as an ideal venue for small to medium-sized gatherings.
Meanwhile, the upcoming Mumbai Marriott Hotel Sky City will grace Borivali. This property too is slated to accommodate 280 generously appointed guestrooms that promise an array of dining experiences that elevate guests' culinary experience.
With an all-day dining restaurant, a speciality dining venue, and a patisserie, complemented by a Bar Lounge and the versatile Greatroom lobby — a signature feature across Marriott properties globally — the hotel aims to provide a contemporary space for guests to unwind and socialise.
Additionally, the property intends to introduce the brand's esteemed M Club, a privileged lounge reserved for Elite and Club members, alongside a well-equipped fitness centre, the signature Quan spa, an outdoor pool, and flexible event spaces conducive to fostering collaborations.
"With Mumbai going through a substantial phase of real estate development, we are thrilled to work together with Vikas Oberoi and his team at Oberoi Realty Limited to manage these two upcoming properties. This collaboration reinforces Mumbai as a strategically important market where we now have thirteen operating hotels. We look forward to providing guests with access to our world-class brands and creating exceptional customer experiences while responding to travellers' diverse hospitality preferences," Rajeev Menon, President of Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International, told CNBC-TV18.
