JW Marriott to open its 300-room hotel in Delhi soon

In Delhi's Aerocity, JW Marriott’s latest luxury hotel is to open its 300-room portion to guests next March. The hotel's total planned capacity is 523 rooms. The hotel is just giving the finishing touches to the building and finalising the name of its restaurant. It has got 250 people on board for this property, said Balan Paravantavida, General Manager, JW Marriott-Aerocity.

Of the 16 hotels planned in India’s first hospitality district, four are nearing completion. Besides JW Marriott, Accor group’s Ibis, Lemon Tree Premier and Red Fox are expected to be up and running by July. The going has not been easy for this ambitious project, though.

The Home Ministry has expressed concern over security issues because of the hotels’ proximity to the runway. DIAL (Delhi International Airport Pvt Ltd) is trying to sort the matter out, especially after the hotels were asked to raze a couple of floors as they defy security norms, said a senior executive close to the development.
