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.
The traveller sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.
