Whiteland Corporation, a prominent real estate developer based in Delhi NCR, has partnered with Marriott International to bring the first Westin Residences to India. This luxury residential project in Gurugram represents a significant investment of around Rs 5600 crore, with construction costs estimated at Rs 5000 crore and land costs at Rs 600 crore. The project's topline is expected to reach Rs 15000 crore.

Westin Residences Gurugram will be located along the growth corridor of Dwarka Expressway, in Sector 103. This prime location is a 15-minute drive to the Central Business District (CBD) of Gurugram and 15-20 minutes from South and West Delhi. It is also conveniently close to the International Airport and key landmarks such as the India International Convention Centre (Yashobhoomi), the upcoming DDA Dwarka Golf Course, and the Diplomatic Enclave, catering to over 35 embassies.

The Westin Residences Gurugram will be the largest branded residences and the first standalone residential project under the Westin brand in India. This development will cater to the increasing demand for luxury living, offering a blend of exclusivity, wellness, and world-class hospitality. The first phase, comprising 674 exclusive residences, is scheduled to launch in the second quarter of this financial year.

The residences will feature three- and four-bedroom units ranging from 235 sqm to 386 sqm. Residents will have access to high-end amenities within 20 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds designed for recreation and outdoor activities. The buildings will be elevated on stilts, allowing the landscape to flow underneath, maximizing the green spaces inspired by biophilic design, curated by internationally acclaimed designers and consultants including Architect Hafeez Contractor, Coopers Hill for landscaping, and BM&A for interiors.

The Residences will embody Westin's Six Pillars of well-being: Sleep Well, Eat Well, Move Well, Feel Well, Work Well, and Play Well. Residents will enjoy amenities such as WestinWORKOUT® offerings, nutritious culinary options, and various wellness experiences on-site. The exclusive Clubhouse will be a standout feature, with amenities focused on health, wellness, recreation, and dining, suitable for all age groups.

Pankaj Pal, Managing Director of Whiteland Corporation, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: “We are delighted to sign an agreement with Marriott International to bring Westin Residences to India. This unique proposition will usher in a new era in Indian real estate. The Westin Residences Gurugram will redefine premium home ownership with exceptional service and attention to detail, offering a prestigious address that will bring pride and joy to its residents.

Their pioneering spirit and unwavering commitment to excellence, combined with Marriott’s global experience in operating branded residences, will set a new benchmark in premium living in India and create homes where residents can be the best versions of themselves.”

Westin Residences Gurugram is poised to become a landmark in Indian real estate, offering a luxurious, wellness-focused living experience in a prime location. With its strategic positioning, innovative design, and commitment to excellence, this project promises to meet the growing demand for high-end residential properties in India.

CGH Earth Saha, known for its collection of handpicked escapes, has introduced Marli Hill Bungalow in the Nilgiris. Nestled atop a quiet hill in Ooty, this six-room retreat combines colonial charm with modern comfort, offering guests an intimate stay steeped in history, art, and nature.

The dining experience is at the heart of Marli Hill, where guests gather in a colonial-inspired hall to enjoy meals prepared by in-house chefs. The menu blends traditional Tamil flavours with subtle British-Raj influences, all made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Leisurely afternoons are marked by high tea in the garden, complete with sculptures, flowering shrubs, and vintage garden furniture, while evenings feature alfresco barbecues under starlit skies.

What makes the stay truly personal is the team at Marli Hill, whose warmth and storytelling add depth to the experience. “Marli Hill Bungalow reimagines hospitality with a luxurious yet homely stay, nestled in the heart of Ooty,” said George Joseph, Vice President, Operations, CGH Earth.

As part of our Saha collection, Marli Hill represents everything we stand for: authenticity, sensitivity to place, and meaningful experiences. Designed for multi-generational families, friends, couples, and even solo travellers, Saha properties create an intimate setting where every guest is cared for with personal attention.”

Guests can choose to unwind by the fireplace, lounge, or garden gazebo, or explore Ooty’s attractions just a short drive away. From Doddabetta Peak and the Botanical and Rose Gardens to Pykara Waterfalls and Wenlock Downs, the region offers abundant natural and cultural richness. A nostalgic ride on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway, with stops at Dolphin’s Nose and Droog Fort, adds to the charm.

For heritage lovers, guided walks to colonial landmarks like St. Stephen’s Church or visits to Toda tribal villages showcase the Nilgiris’ layered traditions. Back at the bungalow, evenings close with barbecues and fireside conversations under the crisp Nilgiri sky.

With its quiet elegance, heritage character, and heartfelt hospitality, Marli Hill Bungalow stands as a soulful sanctuary in Ooty, a rare retreat that blends colonial nostalgia with the mindful luxury CGH Earth is known for.
