Today, JW Marriott Mumbai is considered a landmark in the charming seaside town of Juhu in North Mumbai, and is a favorite dining and late-night destination for the region's Bollywood stars.  In 2011, following the overwhelming success of Mumbai came JW Marriott Chandigarh followed promptly by JW Marriott Pune in March 2013. The JW Marriott Pune (formerly the Pune Marriott Hotel & Convention Centre) is the only hotel in Pune and the first Marriott in India to receive the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Certification from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC).
