“Marriott was founded 99 years ago as a nine seat root beer stand, and as of today, has grown into a global portfolio of 10,000 properties spanning 146 countries and territories. I am immensely proud of this tremendous milestone, made possible by our global teams and the owners who continue to place their trust in Marriott brands. Marking this accomplishment with a property carrying the JW Marriott brand is especially meaningful given its naming after our co-founder, J Willard Marriott. He and Alice S Marriott built an incredible legacy of opportunity, service, and innovation that we’re privileged to carry forward,” says Anthony Capuano, President and CEO, Marriott International.
Located near Ranthambore National Park, the new luxury resort has 127 accommodations, including rooms, suites, and private villas. The property is positioned as a nature-focussed retreat, combining upscale hospitality with access to one of India’s best-known wildlife destinations, says the statement.
According to the statement, senior company executives, including Chairman David Marriott and Asia Pacific (excluding China) President Rajeev Menon, attended the opening event along with the resort’s ownership group.
The development reflects the company’s long-term global expansion from its origins as a small food outlet in the United States to a worldwide hospitality network spanning multiple brands and market segments, adds the statement.
It adds that JW Marriott brand, named after co-founder J Willard Marriott, now has more than 130 properties globally and is part of Marriott’s broader luxury portfolio of nearly 700 hotels across 74 countries and territories.
