Natural sunshine welcomes you to the warmth of the new JW.Marriott,Mumbai,Sahar.

Crisp strong sunshine and warmth greet you as one walks into the JW Marriot Hotel Sahar, Mumbai.  Beams of light play with the suspended tear drop crystal chandeliers all across the multi labyrinths of the expansive front lobby. The hotel pays homage to nature and environment alright.

Visitors may be just likely to gasp when taking in the first glance of the hotel itself. Intelligently constructed to evoke the rays of the rising and setting sun, the shimmering all-glass window facades illuminate not only the entrance but your very senses.

 

 

Explains the Hotels G.M. Saeid Heidari, “We are glad to make use of the natural sunlight, not only saving electricity but also using the sunbeams to throw warm bright lights on the earthy theme used at the front entrance lobby. These rays render colors accurately, even to the point of intensifying the use of the chandeliers placed to welcome guests at our new hotel.”

Here at the hotel, direct lighting creates drama and fosters anticipation to discover the spaces within the hotel. Spanning more than 15 acres, the JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar is set to offer an unparalleled experience. Highly knowledgeable the globe trotting hotelier, Heidari, is a German by origin, has over twenty five years of  hospitality leadership with Marriott hotels across Middle East, Europe and now India, with the past three years as the General Manager for Renaissance Mumbai.

                                        

Continues Heidari, who has a good sense of humour and a very contagious energy level, which made the afternoon brunch at the in house exquisite Italian restaurant ‘ Romano’s’, a pleasure, “I hold two graduate degrees in Chemical Engineering and Law but fate has brought me to the hospitality industry . I am enjoying my experience here in India. Experience has taught me to never judge a book by its cover, we are always welcoming guests from all sectors of life with utmost respect and good service.”

Back in the lobby which has an extended coffee lounge, softer tones are echoed on the circling ceiling which resembles the ‘Queens Necklace’, an iconic landmark of the city of Mumbai. Filled with the energizing effect of intense hues, the opulent entrance invites me to the adjacent  JW Café which is an all day multi cuisine dining arena. Of course I will take you through that extravagant experience in my next naration,right now am still feeling the warmth of the natural sunlight!

It is amazing how the hotel uses sky light which is constantly moving, to capture different hues inside, this is cost effective and surely pays tribute to Planet Earth!
