JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar will be a premier luxury business hotel in India, setting a benchmark for service excellence."

Spanning more than 15 acres, the new hotel's lobby is designed with open spaces and natural light anchored by a striking crystal chandelier descending down into an oversized marble bowl.

The property has 585 guestrooms, which include 163 deluxe pool-view rooms, 23 deluxe suites, 23 executive balcony rooms and one presidential suite. 

On property dining options include the chic and contemporary JW Café, an all-day dining multicuisine restaurant with an alfresco seating area, and Romano's, which offers home-style Italian fare. The Romano's bar also offers cocktails and mocktails, as well as a selection of Italian wines.
