JW Marriott has announced the opening of JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa. The luxury resort is nestled within the tranquil Nandi Hills region of Bengaluru, once an ancient hill fortress and the summer retreat of Indian royalty.
The 301-key resort is situated in the rolling greens of the 275-acre, award-winning Prestige Golfshire course and luxury residential development. Conceptualised by Bengaluru-based architectural firm Thomas and Associates, its sleek, modern architecture is inspired by the beauty of the region’s silk.
The resort’s exceptional interiors were led by world-leading hospitality design firm Hirsch Bedner Associates of Singapore, and feature a lobby with panoramic views of Nandi Hills, striking landscaping, as well as sophisticated guest rooms and villas with private swimming pools and lawn.
Overlooking the golf course and with indoor and alfresco seating in the pleasant climate of Nandi Hills, JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa features six dining options for guests and locals. Aviary is the resort’s all-day-dining restaurant with a chic, minimalist aesthetic, and interactive live kitchens, serving Indian, Western and Asian cuisines in both buffet and a la carte styles.
East, an Asian specialty restaurant with Japanese, Korean and Chinese menu items, features the finest and most nourishing produce, while Aaleeshaan, meaning ‘grandeur’ in the local dialect, offers North-Western Frontier Indian cuisine in a palatial interior with magnificent views of the nearby hills.
Within the lobby, Vista Lounge transitions from a tea lounge during the day to a gin bar at night, showcasing a variety of specialty teas from around the world and an extensive beverage list of handcrafted cocktails. Patisserie Truffle & Co serves gourmet coffees to complement its array of freshly baked delicacies, sandwiches, savories, and healthy, customised salads.
Set around the resort’s azure swimming pool, Flamingo Bar & Pool is an open-air dining space with a sunset terrace, featuring a swim-up bar serving delicious cocktails and fresh juices.
The resort’s 20,000-square-feet Spa by JW® is an exclusive private sanctuary that promises a complete revitalisation of the mind, body, and spirit, and offers seven luxurious therapy rooms, including two couples’ rooms, an Ayurveda room as well as a manicure and pedicure suite.
The hotel also features a modern, fully equipped fitness centre, two outdoor pools, a lap pool, and a temperature-controlled lagoon pool with a relaxing jacuzzi.
Around the resort, guests can relax and unwind amidst acres of calm greenery and serene landscaped gardens. Private nooks and secluded spaces intuitively located around the grounds, invite quiet moments of contemplation and reflection.
“We are thrilled to debut JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa in this stunning region of India, with its breathtaking views, historic sites and exhilarating activities for outdoor enthusiasts,” says Bruce Rohr, Vice President and Global Brand Leader, JW Marriott. “Our brand principles of mindfulness and connection have found the perfect setting in the resort’s nature-inspired surroundings and design, thoughtful service and holistic guest experiences.”
