Luxury hotel brand JW Marriott today said it would set up 10 properties across five countries in 2010, including three in India, entailing a total investment of over $2 billion (Rs 8,948 crore).
The properties would come up in China, Colombia, India, Turkey and the US, bringing the total global portfolio of the brand to 54 hotels and resorts with 24,000 rooms.
“The major growth expands the JW Marriott experience to some of the world’s premier cities. This unprecedented growth represents an investment exceeding $2 billion by JW Marriott property owners and franchisees,” Marriott International Executive Vice-President for full service brand management and operations Don Semmler said.
In India, the hotels would come up in Bangalore, Chandigarh and Chennai later this year.
