JW Marriott Chandigarh
Chandigarh

In the heart of Chandigarh, India’s most consciously constructed city, a place of Le Corbusier’s clean lines, urban symmetry and lush boulevards, stands a property that exemplifies the same crisp modernism and understated grace, JW Marriott Chandigarh.

Undoubtedly the most luxurious hotel in the city, and easily our preferred address, this sleek and supremely comfortable hotel is a sophisticated sanctuary. With impeccable service, seamless efficiency and every amenity exactly where you expect it, it also surprises with layers of warmth, flair and unexpected indulgence.

The building itself is a contemporary new-build, cleverly designed to maximise space, light and guest comfort. From the moment you step through the tall glass doors, there's a reassuring sense of calm and order. Polished marble floors, soft neutral tones and an open, airy layout set the tone for a stay that feels both expansive and cocooning. 

The hotel features 164 guest rooms and suites, all generously sized and thoughtfully arranged into four categories; Deluxe Rooms, Executive Club Rooms, Luxury Suites and the grand Presidential Suite. Each space has been designed with a sense of restrained opulence - crisp white linens, rich dark wood and sleek, contemporary furnishings softened by plush textiles and ambient lighting. Expansive windows let in Chandigarh’s golden northern light, and every room includes modern amenities, intuitive tech and that all-important JW bed, supremely comfortable and near impossible to leave.

Dining here brings variety and quality; start your morning with an international spread at The Café@JW, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, Saffron, the signature Indian restaurant, brings the region’s spice palette to life. For those in the mood for something lighter, Oregano offers a Mediterranean menu and an elegantly relaxed atmosphere, and Whisky 111, the stylish bar, is the perfect spot to wind down, with low lighting, velvet seating and an impressive list of rare malts and craft cocktails.

Health and wellness are another cornerstone of the JW experience. The hotel’s extensive health club is fully equipped with state-of-the-art gym equipment, while the Quan Spa offers a calming counterpoint, a peaceful escape with a menu of massages, facials and treatments rooted in both modern and Ayurvedic traditions. Outside, the rooftop pool is a true urban oasis, a place to stretch out on a lounger, order a fresh juice or a cocktail, and watch the sun dip below the city skyline.

Beyond the comforts, what really sets JW Marriott Chandigarh apart is its ability to marry international five-star standards with a genuine sense of place. The service is gracious and anticipatory, but always warm and grounded.

Perfectly located for exploring Chandigarh’s grid-like charm, from the Rock Garden and Sukhna Lake to the city’s iconic Capitol Complex, this is a stay that’s as stylish as it is seamless. In short, a polished base for the discerning traveller seeking comfort, care and calm amid the city buzz.

Client Testimonials

Difficult to articulate just how good the service from you and your team really was. We know you will continue to do well and hope we have the chance to seek your assistance again before long.
- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
We have just returned back from a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for organising everything. The transfer was excellent – for once they had perfect car seats. The villa was lovely, just what we needed and the hotel had helpfully put us as far away as possible from everyone else. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever seen – and I am slightly obsessive over breakfast!! There was an incredible choice, something for everyone and so beautifully presented. A real highlight of the trip. Thank you again for sorting everything - and at such short notice!
- Redmayne family, Phuket
We really enjoyed the trip and were happy that we squeezed so much into a few short days. The Burmese people were lovely and the sites were fantastic. We really enjoyed the balloon ride and would highly suggest it to others in the future. The trip went super smoothly and a good time plus learning happened for all. Yangon was nice as the Strand was quite amazing and we of course loved the giant gold temple. Many thanks for all of your help and look forward to future travel with you.
- Wallace Family, Burma
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10
- Anonymous, India
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!
- Mr Wyburd, Ireland
I barely know where to begin... though a sincere 'thank you' would be the best. You have organised this trip perfectly. May was an inspiring and delightful companion in Myanmar – thoroughly professional and friendly at the same time. My accommodation throughout has been superb, especially The Governor's Residence and The Mandarin Oriental. The view from the cottage at Inle Lake was beautiful and I loved every moment of being there. And here I am now on the last leg of this extended holiday at my favourite place. I could stay here for ever, the peace, silence and surroundings all amazing, plus the people and the whole aura of Vana. Thank you for much, and I look forward to speaking to you on my return.
- Ms Margulies, Burma, India & Thailand
Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India
I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!
- Jaime Benitez, South India
I thought the Ampersand team was outstanding. We couldn’t have hoped for anything more.
- Mr Geoffrey Johnson, India
