Hospitality giant Marriott International and India’s The Fern Hotels & Resorts have rapidly expanded their ‘Series by Marriott’ partnership, now stretching across 43 Indian cities. Driven by a surging domestic travel market, the joint venture bridges the gap between global hospitality standards and local heritage. By aggressively targeting tier I hubs alongside rapidly growing tier II and tier III markets, the collaboration introduces over 3,500 standardized, eco-sensitive rooms to the subcontinent. Industry analysts note that this hybrid model allows business and leisure travellers to experience regional authenticity without sacrificing the familiar reliability and rewards of the global Marriott Bonvoy ecosystem.
