Marriott International opened the second Courtyard by Marriott property at Pune last month. The mid-market brand from Marriot looks to cater to corporate, MICE and leisure travellers.
The 153-key hotel is located at Hinjewadi on the Pune-Bangalore highway, a location that houses some big corporate houses. “Given the current market scenario, every market should be looked at.
However, our focus is going to be business travellers and MICE segment,” said Deepak Manocha, general manager, Couryard, Pune.
This is the second Courtyard property in India and 13 more are slated to follow between now and 2012.
This property will also feature the signature international restaurant of Courtyard by Marriott, Momo, for the first time in India.
With falling occupancy and rooms rates in Pune, Atul Chordia, chairman, Panchshil Realty, and owner of the property said they were open to options of market driven flexible pricing.
This is Panchshil Realty’s first venture with Marriot International.
