Hotel Review - JW Marriott, Aerocity, New Delhi

JW Marriott, at the newly constructed Aerocity is one of the 5-6 hotels in the vicinity. The fact that it is just a 10-15 minutes drive from the airport will be a plus for many, especially business travellers who don't need to get into the mad rush of the city.


The hotel is large and though there was nothing eye catchy about the decor, it was just simple and very elegant.
A nice flower decoration at the entrance and a traditional welcome was a good way to start the marriott hospitality experience.

There is an open bar and a small library area in the lobby which leads up to the restaurant as well as guest rooms. The conference hall is very large and can accommodate nearly 500 people, which was nearly the number we had at our conference.



The rooms are not very large but fully equipped and the bed is also comfortable and there is a bath tub in the bathroom.
One huge disappointment is the lack of a faucet, and this is something that irritates all of us to the core.
It's illogical that we have to ape foreigners and leave our own style of functioning. What is the harm in having a faucet in addition to the toilet paper?
And if we really have to go by common international standards for a hotel, might as well do away with indian food at the buffet and serve only continental cuisine... -1 mark for this blunder.

Service is good as you'd expect at Marriott and checking in and out was a smooth process.
The food also was pretty good, we had a couple of breakfast and a lunch buffet at their restaurant on the ground floor.
The spread was large, and taste of most of the dishes was accurate, the dessert spread is huge and delicious i must say.
They have a specialty Japanese restaurant as well, would interest some of the international guests perhaps.

Overall a pleasant and relaxed stay.

Rating - 4/5
