Marriott Signs Deal for South Asia’s Largest Courtyard Hotel in Bengaluru

Marriott International has signed an agreement with Vedant Enterprises to develop a 350-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel at Bengaluru’s Defence and Aerospace Park. The property is expected to open in 2030 and is set to become the largest Courtyard by Marriott hotel in South Asia.

The hotel will be located within the 2,600-acre Defence and Aerospace Park, a special economic zone developed by the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board. The park is emerging as an important hub for aerospace, hardware and technology businesses, creating demand for accommodation and meeting facilities close to workplaces.

Its location is also expected to support access to Kempegowda International Airport and National Highway 7. As companies expand operations around the park, the hotel is positioned to serve business travellers, project teams, executives and delegates attending industry events.

Plans call for 350 guest rooms, an all-day dining restaurant with a bar, a fitness centre, spa and swimming pool. The development is also expected to include about 2,000 square metres of indoor and outdoor meeting and banqueting space. These facilities could help the property attract conferences, corporate gatherings and social functions, in addition to business travel.

For Marriott, the signing strengthens its presence in Bengaluru and extends the Courtyard brand in a market where demand is being shaped by technology companies, aerospace businesses and the business travel sector. The company operates more than 25 Courtyard by Marriott hotels across South Asia, according to the announcement.

The project also marks Fairlark Group’s entry into the hospitality business. Vedant Enterprises, which is owned by Fairlark, is partnering with Marriott for the development. The 2030 opening target places the project within the build-out of the Defence and Aerospace Park and its surrounding commercial ecosystem.

The hotel’s scale is notable, but its performance will depend on how quickly the northern Bengaluru business district develops and how much demand employers generate. With airport connectivity, a growing industrial base and dedicated conference facilities, the project is aimed at a segment of the city’s hospitality market that is expected to expand alongside the region’s business activity.
