Marriott International, Inc. has announced a strategic agreement with Grey Group to launch the luxurious JW Marriott brand in Ludhiana, Punjab, with an anticipated opening in January 2029. Set to become a new landmark in the city’s hospitality landscape, JW Marriott Ludhiana will bring the brand’s signature focus on mindfulness, sophisticated design, and exceptional service to one of India’s most industrious cities, often referred to as the “Manchester of India.”
The upcoming hotel will be part of a premium mixed-use development, featuring retail and residential spaces, catering to the evolving lifestyle demands of Ludhiana’s growing business and social elite. Strategically located within a 30-minute drive of Ludhiana Railway Station and just 2.5 hours from Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport, the hotel will also benefit from its proximity to the future airport at Halwara, enhancing regional connectivity.
Ranju Alex, Regional Vice President – South Asia, Marriott International, expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, “The signing of JW Marriott Ludhiana marks a bold step in redefining the luxury hospitality landscape of the city. Ludhiana is transforming rapidly, and this hotel will not only fill a long-standing gap in its luxury segment but also elevate its status as a key business and social hub in the region.”
Inder Raj Singh, Owner of Grey Group, added, “This collaboration with Marriott International is a major milestone for our city. JW Marriott Ludhiana will be more than a hotel—it will be a symbol of modern luxury and our ambition to reshape Ludhiana’s urban and real estate landscape.”
The hotel will feature 160 elegantly designed rooms and suites, offering a premium stay experience with a range of culinary offerings. These will include an all-day dining restaurant, specialty dining venue, Lobby Lounge, Pool Bar, and the JW Market—serving fresh pastries and artisan coffee. In line with the JW Marriott brand’s wellness philosophy, the property will include tranquil wellness zones like the JW Garden, Spa by JW, a modern fitness centre, and a swimming pool.
For business and social events, JW Marriott Ludhiana is expected to offer 1,500 square meters of versatile event space, including a grand outdoor lawn—ideal for weddings, corporate functions, and special occasions.
