NEW DELHI—JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts continues to expand its luxury portfolio with the opening of its first resort in India, the JW Marriott Mussoorie Walnut Grove Resort & Spa.
The hotel is located in the hill station of Mussoorie, at the foothills of the Garhwal Himalayan ranges, also known as the Queen of the Hills. The hotel’s interior and exterior design was inspired by its natural surroundings—the Himalayan Mountains. All guestrooms feature private balconies. The new 115-room luxury resort is located approximately 280 miles from New Delhi and 40 miles from the nearest airport in Dehradun.
“The opening of the first JW Marriott resort in India is undoubtedly a milestone for the JW Marriott brand and Marriott International at large,” said Rajeev Menon, area VP of South-Asia for Marriott International. “JW Marriott Mussoorie Walnut Grove Resort & Spa reflects the sophistication, style and exceptional service, attributes that have grown synonymous with the JW Marriott brand worldwide.”
The resort also houses the Cedar Spa by L’Occitane, which features five treatment rooms and an array of treatments inspired by the indigenous cedar trees of the region. Treatments include the Signature Cedarwood Body Massage, the repairing Shea Ultra Rich Softening Body Wrap and the Almond Silhouette Reshape to restore firmness. Salon by Warren Tricomi, a fitness center and an indoor heated swimming pool will complete the well-being experience at the hotel.
The resort was specially designed with families in mind and features The Den—an entertainment center and kid’s club that spans over 12,000 sq. ft. and includes a two-lane bowling alley, billiard and pool tables, gaming consoles, library, nap areas and a market with fresh food and beverages.
The hotel also holds one of the largest meeting spaces in the city with 3,300 total sq. ft. across the Grand Orchard Ballroom, three breakout rooms and a pre-function area.
The JW Marriott Mussoorie Walnut Grove Resort & Spa will be the brand’s sixth property in India. The five other JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts properties in India are located in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Pune and Bengaluru.
