Marriott International, Inc. today announced the opening of its 10,000th property worldwide, the JW Marriott Ranthambore Resort & Spa, marking a historic milestone for the company as it approaches its 100th anniversary.
“Marriott was founded 99 years ago as a nine-seat root beer stand and today has grown to a global portfolio of 10,000 properties in 146 countries and territories. I am extremely proud of this exciting milestone, made possible by our global teams and the owners who continue to place their trust in Marriott brands,” said Anthony Capuano, president and CEO of Marriott International. “Marking this achievement with a JW Marriott-branded property is especially meaningful given its name after our co-founder, J. Willard Marriott. He and Alice S. Marriott have built an incredible legacy of opportunity, service and innovation that we are excited to continue.”
The JW Marriott Ranthambore celebrated its opening with employees and business leaders including David Marriott, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Rajeev Menon, President of Asia Pacific Excluding China (APEC), along with resort owner Nilesh Gadhiya and the Gadhiya family.
