Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) today announced plans to open W Mumbai, marking the debut of W Hotels Worldwide in India.

Located in bustling South Central Mumbai where modern architecture intertwines with colonial cultural monuments, W Mumbai will introduce its world renowned lifestyle hotel concept to one of India's hippest cities, where the country's music, fashion, media and entertainment industries converge. Under a management contract with Jaguar Buildcon Private Limited, W Mumbai will be developed on approximately three acres of land and is expected to open by 2015. Overlooking the Mahalaxmi racecourse, the hotel will form a part of the Namaste Tower, an iconic 55-story mixed-use building designed by WS Atkins to look like clasped hands. Expected to be a landmark in the city of Mumbai with its iconic design, W Mumbai will be a highly anticipated and spectacular addition to India's financial and fashion capital.

"We are excited to bring the W lifestyle to Mumbai, another step in W's global expansion into the world's most exciting and vibrant destinations," said Frits van Paasschen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. "W Mumbai will offer a contemporary take on design, fashion and music in the heart of one of the city's most vibrant districts, bringing an innovative and distinctive experience to Mumbai. When W Mumbai opens, Starwood will have seven of its nine brands present in India."

W Mumbai will house more than 350 stylishly appointed guestrooms, including two WOW Suites and one Extreme WOW Suite (W's take on the Presidential Suite); two contemporary restaurants and one destination bar; the signature W lounge (W's interpretation of the traditional hotel lobby); WET pool deck; SWEAT, state-of-the-art fitness center; and a signature spa for guests to detox and refuel for what's to come. W Mumbai will also house stylish spaces for luxury designer retail stores and boast a full calendar of exclusive and exciting W Happenings events that showcase what's new and next in design, fashion and music for both guests and locals alike.

"We are thrilled to partner with Starwood and its distinct stable of brands. It is the perfect time for W Hotels to enter India, specifically Mumbai, a city that matches W's vibrant energy, and strong association with fashion and Bollywood. Luxury in India has existed in its traditional form, but with the entry of W, there is an opportunity to introduce luxury in its modern and trend-setting sense," said Gurinderjit Singh, Managing Director of Jaguar Buildcon.

"With the construction of our first W Hotel in India, we expect to see more owner interest in developing this great brand in other key leisure and business destinations in the country," said Dilip Puri, Managing Director, India and Regional Vice President South Asia, Starwood Asia Pacific Hotels and Resorts. "Locations such as the Delhi NCR region, Goa and Kerala are targets for Starwood to develop W Hotels and Retreats."

55 floors only ??

India101 · April 7th, 2011, 02:33 PM

Never bother listening to what news articles say the amount of floors/the height of a building. Each have their own number.

no tall buildings around, just old style one storey offices . But good thing no bouncer type security guards unlike for India tower.There is no way to get glimpse of the sitem from main road but when the gate opens for trucks one can get a good look at the site. Saw today dumpers taking soil out of the pit and its a huge one, trucks were literally going to the bottom of it

Was in the bus and it moved too quickly, so couldnt get a pic. Its luck as to when they open the doors but work definately going on a full pace. One wouldnt know anything inside if they are standing outside as workers immediately clean the road of mud left behind by the trucks.

Mahratta · April 14th, 2011, 07:29 PM

I came here ready to complain about the name, but after looking at the pictures...

Looks great.

Coolguyz · April 21st, 2011, 11:58 AM
