Marriott International Inc. announced that six properties owned by SAMHI Hotels Ltd will shift from franchise to managed entities, strengthening Marriott’s managed portfolio in key Indian business cities.
The transition of Fairfield by Marriott Mahindra World City, Four Points by Sheraton Chennai OMR, Four Points by Sheraton Jaipur, Four Points by Sheraton Pune, Fairfield by Marriott Hyderabad, and Fairfield by Marriott Ahmedabad is set to be completed by October 2024.
With Marriott’s management expertise and global sales channels, these managed properties will reach a broader audience, boosting visibility and revenue potential. Access to Marriott’s 210 million Bonvoy members worldwide also provides a loyal customer base, ensuring consistent business growth.
Pranay Verdia, Area General Manager at Marriott International, commented – “This strategic transition marks a pivotal step in our commitment to elevating guest experiences. Over the years, we have laid a strong foundation for success with SAMHI Hotels and are now poised to build upon that legacy.
“We have a long-standing relationship with Marriott, and integrating these hotels further strengthens that. We are very excited about the prospects of these hotels as they reposition, taking advantage of Marriott’s strong management capabilities,” commented Ashish Jakhanwala, CEO of SAMHI Hotels.
The Fairfield by Marriott brand is renowned for offering value-driven accommodations, blending seamless workspaces with restful stays for modern travelers. Meanwhile, Four Points by Sheraton delivers functional guest rooms that balance work and relaxation, highlighted by its ‘Style via Comfort’ approach.
Guests at these six hotels will benefit more through Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott’s award-winning travel program, offering access to unique local and global experiences. These properties will also undergo upgrades to meet Marriott’s high standards for quality and service, ensuring a consistent and memorable guest experience.
This transition emphasizes Marriott’s commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences. Visitors can expect top-tier comfort, service, and innovation at these newly managed hotels.
