Marriott International is deepening its roots in Bengaluru’s luxury hospitality landscape with a new addition to its iconic JW Marriott portfolio. The hotel major has announced the signing of an agreement with Aratt One World Pvt Ltd to open the JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru Electronic City, marking another milestone in the city’s growing reputation as a global hospitality hub.
Expected to open in 2030, the hotel will occupy a four-acre expanse in Electronic City and feature 370 elegantly designed rooms and suites. The property aims to embody JW Marriott’s signature blend of contemporary sophistication and intuitive service, offering travelers an experience that harmonizes comfort, calm, and connection.
Kiran Andicot, Senior Vice President – South Asia, Marriott International, described the development as a reflection of the company’s confidence in Bengaluru’s luxury travel market. “This signing reaffirms our commitment to the future of luxury and hospitality in Bengaluru. Thoughtfully crafted to meet the aspirations of the next generation of luxury travelers, this hotel is set to redefine the travel experience for discerning guests visiting this dynamic city,” he said.
For Marriott, the timing couldn’t be better. India’s high-end travel segment has been on an upward curve, with Bengaluru leading the charge as both a business and leisure destination. The city’s mix of global connectivity, thriving corporate presence, and vibrant lifestyle has made it an ideal location for luxury hospitality brands catering to an evolved, experience-seeking audience.
Echoing the sentiment, Vishal Vincent Tony, Managing Director of Aratt One World Pvt Ltd, said, “The signing of JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru Electronic City marks a significant milestone that underscores our confidence in Bengaluru’s growth potential. It also signals the beginning of a broader strategic relationship with Marriott International as we look to expand our portfolio in the years ahead.”
Bengaluru, once the genteel “Garden City,” has long outgrown its sleepy colonial image to become one of India’s most cosmopolitan metros. Yet beneath its skyline of glass and steel, the city retains a charm defined by tree-lined avenues, craft coffee houses, and a cultural rhythm that is both traditional and forward-looking. Against this backdrop, Electronic City, a key node of India’s IT revolution has evolved into a self-contained ecosystem of innovation, business, and now, luxury living.
The upcoming JW Marriott will be a statement of mindful design and refined indulgence. Each of its 370 guestrooms and suites will reflect the brand’s focus on well-being, featuring thoughtful interiors and calming aesthetics. The hotel will also house several food and beverage options—an all-day dining restaurant, a specialty dining venue, a rooftop bar, and a lobby lounge designed for social gatherings. The JW Market, a signature feature, will serve as a cosy retreat offering artisanal snacks and locally inspired delicacies.
True to the brand’s wellness philosophy, the hotel will include multiple tranquil spaces, encouraging guests to disconnect from the rush and reconnect with themselves. Plans include the renowned Spa by JW, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a swimming pool that overlooks the cityscape. For business and social occasions, the property will offer 3,480 square meters of flexible event space, including a lush outdoor lawn for elegant gatherings.
Located roughly 50 kilometres from the international airport and within convenient reach of Bengaluru’s city centre, the JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru Electronic City is strategically positioned for both business travellers and leisure guests.
As India’s luxury travel market continues to expand, Marriott International’s new signing underscores a clear trend, modern travellers are seeking more than opulence. They crave experiences that restore balance and offer authenticity. In a city where innovation and serenity co-exist, the JW Marriott is poised to deliver just that: a sanctuary for the modern, mindful traveller.
