“Marriott was founded 99 years ago as a nine seat root beer stand, and as of today, has grown into a global portfolio of 10,000 properties spanning 146 countries and territories. I’m immensely proud of this tremendous milestone, made possible by our global teams and the owners who continue to place their trust in Marriott brands,” said Marriott International President and CEO Anthony Capuano. “Marking this accomplishment with a property carrying the JW Marriott brand is especially meaningful given its naming after our co-founder, J. Willard Marriott. He and Alice S. Marriott built an incredible legacy of opportunity, service, and innovation that we’re privileged to carry forward.”
The JW Marriott Ranthambore celebrated the opening with associates and company leaders, including David Marriott, Chairman of the Board, and Rajeev Menon, President, Asia Pacific excluding China (APEC), along with the resort’s owner Nilesh Gadhiya and the Gadhiya family.
With the JW Marriott brand portfolio now comprising over 130 properties globally, this opening strengthens the company’s unrivaled luxury portfolio, which spans seven brands representing nearly 700 properties in 74 countries and territories, offering guests transformative experiences in the world’s most sought-after destinations.
