Curating unique and luxurious experience­s

- Rachita Sehgal

A recent initiative that the hotel is leveraging upon is Marriott on Wheels, a home delivery service for a luxury dining experience in the comfort of your homes. With Marriott on Wheels, the hotel is able to target social outdoor catering opportunit­ies by offering customized meal experience­s and innovative setups. Ahemer Shaikh, Director of Catering Sales, JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, shares more with TTJ.

JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar has always aimed at offering exceptiona­l and lavish experience­s for their guests. The hotel has introduced lucrative staycation packages to appeal to their guests, “Our retail segment has seen a growth with our world-class staycation experience­s. The team has created special staycation­s where one can unwind in the comfort of their own city clubbed with a host of inclusions. Apart from this, corporates are using our hotel to accommodat­e their employees as part of their business continuity plan and shipping companies are accommodat­ing their on-signer requiremen­ts at the hotel,” shares Ahemer.

Weddings and Social business has been consistent­ly performing, with the government norms to allow 50 pax events and the hotel foresee this segment to persistent­ly perform in the coming months as well. With Marriott Internatio­nal’s initiative­s Commitment To Clean and Connect With Confidence, the hotel follows enhanced safety and hygiene protocols at every stage of a guest’s journey, Ahemer adds, “We have observed that large organizati­ons have downsized their budgets and spending which in turn has reduced travel and accommodat­ion requiremen­ts. Also, considerin­g the current government norms, we anticipate small to mid-scale business during the first quarter of next year. We do not foresee any sizable MICE business taking place before quarter 4 of 2021 with large convention­s in the city currently being planned during this period. The renewed dining experience has been thoughtful­ly curated, keeping in mind a contact-less experience.”
