The Marriott Group of Hotels has launched its 5-star hotel in Chandigarh. JW Marriott Chandigarh, which features 165 guest rooms and suites, including four suites and a presidential suite, is within close proximity to the Chandigarh airport and the railway station. It is also immediately accessible from Chandigarh’s business district of Sector 17 and the Information Technology Park.
“There has been a serious dearth of branded 5 star hotels in Chandigarh,” says Harpal Singh, Managing Director, Lok Priya Buildwell, which owns the new hotel. “So far, only the Taj and the Government-owned Mountview have been catering to the demand of upper-crust hospitality in the city. JW Marriott is the first luxury hotel in Chandigarh as well as North India, and it will cater to both leisure and business travellers.”
The JW Marriott Group enlisted the expertise of the project and development services agency of international property consultants Jones Lang LaSalle India in establishing what is Chandigarh’s first luxury 5-star hotel. “We are honoured to have been appointed as exclusive service providers for this prestigious project,” says Gagan Singh, CEO – Projects & Development Services, Jones Lang LaSalle India. “This was an end-to-end services mandate which included design management, contract procurement, vendors and consultant management, schedule and cost management, billing, management of all aspects of construction activities and landscaping. We are extremely satisfied with the results.”
