Brigade Hotel Ventures, an owner and developer of hotels in key cities in India, primarily across South India, has signed a multi-year agreement with Marriott International to develop six hotels (940 rooms) across four key markets in the country.
This significant portfolio expansion will feature properties under five globally recognized Marriott Bonvoy brands – The Ritz-Carlton, JW Marriott, Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Courtyard by Marriott and Fairfield by Marriott.
The six hotels are: Courtyard by Marriott Chennai World Trade Center, Fairfield by Marriott Bengaluru International Airport, Fairfield by Marriott Bengaluru Brigade Valencia, The Ritz-Carlton Vaikom Island, Kerala, JW Marriott Chennai OMR and Thiruvananthapuram Marriott Hotel World Trade Center.
