India: The futuristic W Mumbai is under development ahead of a 2015 opening.
Mumbai will home to India’s first W hotel, a 325-room property which is being developed on a three acre site.
Dilip Puri, managing director, India and regional vice president South Asia for Starwood Asia Pacific Hotels & Resorts, said: “Located in bustling south central Mumbai where modern architecture intertwines with colonial cultural monuments, W Mumbai will introduce its world renowned lifestyle hotel concept to one of India’s hippest cities.”
“Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Goa and Kerala are targets for us. We currently have a W Hotel under development in Noida, and in north Goa, besides Mumbai. As W and St Regis make their foray into India, Starwood will have eight of its nine brands present in India,” he added.
Starwood global president and CEO Frits van Paasschen said: “It is just a matter of time before India becomes the third-largest country for us globally. India is absolutely ready for the top end brands.”
