Marriott’s New Brand is Sparking Major Growth in India

Marriott International, Inc. has announced the global debut of Series by Marriott with the launch of The Fern Hotels & Resorts, Series by Marriott in India. Series by Marriott is a regionally created, globally connected, collection brand that brings together locally recognized hotel groups under the umbrella of Marriott Bonvoy. The first phase of openings includes 26 hotels across key destinations in India, bringing over 1,900 rooms to Marriott’s portfolio.

Series by Marriott marks its initial launch through a founding deal with Concept Hospitality Private Limited (CHPL) in India, a key growth market for Marriott International. CG Hospitality, the hospitality division of the multi-national conglomerate CG Corp Global, is the majority stakeholder in CHPL. Designed for “global domestic” travelers, Series by Marriott offers the basics done well—comfortable rooms, reliable service, and locally relevant experiences that reflect the character of each destination.

The Fern Hotels & Resorts, Series by Marriott, is the brand’s inaugural set of properties to open globally, showcasing a collection of eco-sensitive hotels rooted in sustainability and regional charm. From bustling business hubs to serene leisure escapes, each property is crafted to fulfill the travel purpose of every guest—whether it’s sealing a deal, reconnecting with loved ones, or simply taking a moment to pause.
