After many delays, the first hotel at Aerocity has finally opened its doors in New Delhi. The 523-room JW Marriott Hotel was opened at the Aerocity on Friday. This is the fifth JW Marriott in the country.

Nearly 4,800 rooms across various brands will be coming up at Aerocity, next to the Delhi international airport, under different brands. While some hotels are almost finished, others are in the process of construction.

However, despite being ready the hotel projects faced delays after security agencies raised objections due to the proximity of these hotels to the airport.

The hotel chain said that apart from serving luxury business travellers, the hotel is well placed to secure a large slice of the increasingly important Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) market. The hotel claims to have the largest indoor banquet facilities in the city.

“JW Marriott is a truly luxurious and distinctive brand, globally recognised for its quiet elegance and exceptional service. We are very excited to welcome our first guest and aim to emerge as the capital’s most stylish hotel offering discerning international and domestic travellers the award-winning JW sophistication and quiet luxury. We firmly believe that the hotel will become the most sought-after venue for the business and MICE segment in New Delhi,” Balan Paravantavida, General Manager, JWMarriott Hotel New Delhi Aerocity, said in a statement.
