Marriott International has signed an agreement with Ventive Hospitality to open seven hotels, as part of a portfolio deal comprising 1,548-keys across five brands.

This includes multiple brand debuts with a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Sri Lanka, Marriott Hotels & Resorts in Varanasi, Courtyard by Marriott in Mundra (Gujarat) and Moxy in Pune.

Additionally, it will mark the third JW Marriott and second Moxy to open as part of a dual-branded property in Mumbai.

A premier division of Panchshil Realty, Ventive Hospitality stands at the forefront as a visionary owner, developer and asset manager of luxury and business hotels and resorts.

With a strong foothold in Pune and the Maldives, the company is recognized for curating remarkable experiences defined by landmark properties, sustainable practices, and strategic growth.

All seven properties are anticipated to open in 2030 and the multi-deal agreement was signed by Rajeev Menon, President, Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International and Atul Chordia, Chairman and Executive Director, Ventive Hospitality Ltd.

“Our growth strategy focuses on being present wherever our guests are looking to travel,” Menon said.

“We are thrilled to work with Panchshil Realty and Ventive Hospitality, as we continue to meet the growing demand for luxury travel experiences and world-class hospitality services.

“We are especially excited to have signed a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, which is expected to mark the brand’s debut in Sri Lanka. This agreement underscores our long-standing relationship with Panchshil Realty, and we look forward to bringing these exciting projects to fruition.”
