JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity, a symbol of luxury and sophistication, is celebrating its 10th anniversary, marking an extraordinary journey in the heart of India's capital. In 2013, Marriott International expanded its presence in India with the grand inauguration of this magnificent hotel.

Reflecting on this milestone, Sandeep Gupta, Executive Chairman of Aria Hotels and Consultancy Pvt. Ltd., expressed his joy, saying, "Celebrating this remarkable journey is a source of immense happiness. It's a testament to the legacy of my late father, Padma Shri Sushil Gupta, and the successful partnership between Aria Hospitality and Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. and Marriott International. I'm grateful for the unwavering support of our guests, partners, and the dedicated team that has made this journey possible. I eagerly anticipate many more decades of providing unparalleled hospitality and creating cherished moments at JW Marriott New Delhi."

Culinary excellence has been at the core of the hotel's success, featuring a range of award-winning restaurants and lounges. The latest gem in their culinary crown is ADRIFT Kaya New Delhi, a Japanese Izakaya concept conceived by Sandeep Gupta and led by Michelin-starred chef David Myers. K3: New Delhi's Food Theatre, an all-day diner, offers a unique dining experience with three live kitchens showcasing Mediterranean, Asian, and Indian cuisines, all prepared by a team of master chefs. For those with a sweet tooth, the Delhi Baking Company delights with an array of desserts, bread, bakery products, and the finest illy coffee. JW Lounge caters to guests with a selection of premium spirits, cocktails, and hors d'oeuvres.

Sharad Datta, General Manager of JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity, emphasized that their success isn't solely defined by their splendid facilities or elegant ambiance. Instead, it's the unwavering dedication of their associates who have tirelessly cared for their guests. In turn, their guests have nurtured their business by choosing them as their preferred destination. This journey has been remarkable, and they eagerly look forward to many more years of providing extraordinary experiences to their cherished guests.

Over the past decade, JW Marriott New Delhi has remained a beacon of luxury in Aerocity, offering 509 rooms and suites. The hotel has consistently pushed the boundaries of luxury and has made a strong commitment to sustainability by setting up an in-house water bottling plant, reducing the use of over 50 lakh plastic water bottles in the last three years. The hotel is also renowned for providing over 30,000 sq. ft. of flexible convention spaces, including a 12,000 sq. ft. pillar-less ballroom, making it an ideal choice for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions.

 Ukiyo, the signature Japanese restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Pune, has been featured on 50 Best Discovery, the global platform that highlights outstanding restaurants, bars, hotels and vineyards across the world.

The inclusion comes as part of the platform's latest expansion in July 2026, which added more than 650 hospitality venues. The update also introduced over 75 new cities and towns to the platform, further broadening its global coverage of dining, drinking and travel destinations.

With the latest additions, 50 Best Discovery now features more than 3,500 hospitality establishments across 800+ cities and towns worldwide, including over 210 restaurants, 110 bars, 130 hotels, and, for the first time, more than 190 vineyards as a dedicated category.

Each venue on the platform, including Ukiyo, is selected based on votes from the expert voting Academies responsible for creating the annual global and regional 50 Best lists.

At The Ritz-Carlton, Pune, Ukiyo offers a contemporary Japanese dining experience that combines traditional techniques with modern influences. The menu features handcrafted sushi, sashimi, robata-grilled specialities and signature dishes designed for sharing, prepared using premium ingredients while staying true to authentic Japanese flavours.

Complementing the dining experience is an elegant al fresco bar, serving handcrafted cocktails inspired by Japanese artistry. The venue is designed to cater to intimate dinners, celebrations and social gatherings in a refined setting.

A key highlight of the restaurant is the Ukiyo Drift deck, home to Pune's iconic al fresco bar. Featuring Japanese-inspired mixology, seasonal ingredients and signature cocktails, the space has become one of the city's sought-after destinations for elevated evening experiences.

50 Best Discovery serves as a curated digital guide for travellers, diners and cocktail enthusiasts. More than 3,000 Academy members from around the world, recognised for their expertise in local hospitality scenes, contribute to the selection process. While the platform extends the annual 50 Best rankings, it is not a ranking itself, and venues cannot apply for inclusion. Instead, selections are made solely through recommendations from the expert voting Academies.

The inclusion of Ukiyo on the platform further strengthens The Ritz-Carlton, Pune's position as a destination for world-class dining and premium hospitality experiences.
