JW Marriott expands footprint in Vietnam with the JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa
Marriott Bonvoy brand JW Marriott has announced the debut of the latest addition to its growing global portfolio: the JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa. This latest property ushers in the luxury brand's continued expansion in Vietnam, as well as its debut on the country's captivating, culturally enriched central coast. Blending beachside elegance with Vietnamese charm, this sophisticated resort is poised to create meaningful experiences rooted in well-being for guests. A sanctuary for body and soul Marriott International regional vice-president for South Korea, Vietnam and the Philippines Duke Nam remarked that JW Marriott embraces the belief that connecting with nature is an important part of nourishing one's soul. Nam went further by saying: “JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa embodies this commitment by providing an oasis of tranquillity where guests can relax, recharge, and reconnect with themselves and their loved ones. This sophisticated destination is the ideal retreat for our experience-seeking guests to discover the natural and cultural essence of Vietnam's central coast.” For his part, property general manager David Ippersiel declared: “I am delighted to introduce a new era of luxury hospitality to the pure shores of Cam Ranh Bay with Central Vietnam's first JW Marriott resort. With our seamless blend of natural beauty, cultural authenticity and world-class facilities, JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa is a beachside sanctuary where guests can truly connect to the heritage of this idyllic and intriguing destination. Our team looks forward to welcoming all travelers and showcasing the best of Vietnamese hospitality.” Designed with elemental luxury in mind A bold expression of Asian-inspired design influenced by the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, the resort was crafted by the renowned design studios of AND, SUPER POTATO, and PIA. This lush 22-hectare paradise is home to more than 1,000 species of indigenous flowers, trees, and shrubs. The arrival lobby, seemingly carved out of natural rock, creates a dramatic first impression, opening to serene views that overlook the resort's expansive landscape and set the tone for peaceful moments ahead. Woven seamlessly into its natural surroundings, the resort features winding pathways, swaying palms, and direct access to the soft sands of Bai Dai Beach (also known as Long Beach), a 10-kilometer stretch of shoreline lapped by turquoise seas. JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa features 203 elegantly designed guest rooms and private villas, each thoughtfully curated to inspire restoration and a deep sense of connection. Interiors reflect the coastal beauty of Cam Ranh with organic tones, natural materials, and refined wooden accents, including lattice partitions that echo traditional Vietnamese design. Among the 27 one- to four-bedroom villas, ten of which are set directly on the beachfront, select accommodations are adorned with ethnic textiles, adding a subtle cultural richness to their serene, light-filled spaces. Each features a private infinity pool and spacious outdoor terrace for elevated relaxation.
JW Marriott Singapore South Beach appoints Karl Hudson as general manager
JW Marriott Singapore South Beach announces the appointment of Karl Hudson as General Manager. Having overseen the opening of more than 80 hotels during his career with Marriott International, Hudson brings global leadership expertise with strategic vision and operational rigour to one of Singapore’s most design-forward hotels. Hudson, who most recently served as Marriott International’s Regional Vice President for Japan & Guam, joins at a pivotal time for the luxury hotel as it continues to strengthen its positioning as both a lifestyle hub and a premier business destination in three key areas — M.I.C.E excellence, destination dining, and luxury lifestyle positioning within Marina Bay. A fresh vision for JW Marriott Singapore South Beach Born in England and raised in New Zealand, Hudson’s journey into hospitality was anything but conventional. First joining Marriott International in 1996, he has risen through the ranks, consistently being tapped for new opportunities thanks to his instinct for people and his proven record of leadership. “My focus is on preserving and amplifying what makes this hotel unique,” Hudson says. “Its energy, creativity, and sense of place give it character. It is a design-led JW Marriott, and that is one of its multitude of strengths.” Located within Singapore’s Marina Bay and being one of the largest Singapore hotels within Marriott International’s luxury portfolio, the 634-key hotel is ideally positioned as a venue of choice for meetings, international conventions, and events (M.I.C.E). With its striking Grand Ballroom featuring a dramatic Forest of Lights installation, versatile event spaces, and seamless access to the Suntec Convention Centre as well as Sands Expo and Convention Centre, JW Marriott Singapore South Beach is designed to meet the needs of world-class gatherings. Hudson will steer the hotel’s next phase of growth while staying true to its lifestyle identity and design DNA. “My focus is on strengthening the hotel’s operations and delivering exceptional experiences across both business and lifestyle segments,” he says. For Hudson, this comes back to connection: “Data and technology help us create seamless journeys, but true luxury lies in the ability to understand, adapt, and connect with each guest as an individual.” Hudson views luxury as deeply personal, shaped as much by how guests feel as by the services on offer. “For some, luxury is tradition and refinement. For others, it’s about surprise and delight. At JW Marriott Singapore South Beach, we aim to be approachable yet elevated, expressive yet grounded — and always rooted in genuine hospitality,” he explains. His leadership will place emphasis on people, personalisation, and place-making, ensuring JW Marriott Singapore South Beach continues to stand out as a destination where business and leisure converge seamlessly.

Cam Ranh Bay's crystal-clear waters and untouched beaches provide the perfect backdrop for a transformative luxury escape, while the region's history and heritage as the epicentre of Vietnam's traditional pottery industry, home to the country's most revered ceramists, adds a unique cultural dimension that distinguishes this destination from any other. This is brought to life in the resort's own Pottery Club, which not only supplies much of the hotel's own ceramic needs but also offers guests the opportunity to produce their own ceramic souvenirs. Inspired by history Inspired by the legacy of the ancient Champa Kingdom, the resort's design narrative and colour palette reflect the area's storied past when Cam Ranh was a strategic trade and military base, which flourished in South-Central Vietnam from the 4th to the 13th centuries. This historical connection is thoughtfully woven throughout the property's architecture, interior design and experiences, creating an authentic immersion to Vietnam's cultural heritage while delivering contemporary luxury amenities and services. That said, JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa exemplifies the brand's distinctive hallmarks through three foundational pillars: Elemental Harmony unfolds where forest and sea restore the senses, inviting guests to be mindful and present in this extraordinary coastal sanctuary; True to its philosophy of total wellness, Spa by JW is a sanctuary where ancient traditions harmonize with modern therapeutic techniques to restore balance. These quintessential JW Marriott experiences are complemented by the brand's commitment to mindful luxury and purposeful hospitality; and A distinctive Tree House serves as the recreational hub for junior guests. A Kids Club for children up to 12 years old offers engaging and educational programs to keep them entertained while young adults from 13 years old can chill at the cool Teens Club, which is unique to JW Marriott Cam Ranh Bay Resort & Spa. Synchronised with natural rhythms At JW Marriott Cam Ranh, Vietnam's coastal soul comes to life, in sync with nature's rhythm from the sea and forest. Its culinary programme celebrates being Nourished by Nature, where each of the seven dining destinations is differentiated by a unique sensory journey, colour palette and one of the Elements. Menu composition reflects the distinctive flavor, rhythm, and rituals rooted in place through both local Vietnamese cuisine and international appeal. Guests enjoy an array of dining experiences across seven different interpretations of Nature, that showcase the region's abundant seafood and fresh ingredients, expertly prepared by world-class culinary teams. Crafted Connections, on the other hand, bridge generations through culture, care, and creativity, embodying the spirit of togetherness in meaningful ways. This is a resort designed for connection; with each other, with nature and with the soul of Vietnam. Families, friends, and curious travellers are invited to discover local crafts, share in stories, and create memories that weave together generations and cultures, fostering bonds that transcend time and place through shared experiences and authentic cultural immersion. The resort's unique features set it apart as a truly exceptional destination; indeed, its Forest by the Ocean narrative embraces the property's lush natural surroundings, creating an immersive experience where tropical greenery meets pristine shoreline.

JW Marriott Goa offers a Chinese culinary showcase at JW Kitchen
This month, JW Marriott Goa offers diners a distinctive culinary showcase at its all-day dining establishment JW Kitchen. Currently running till Saturday,14th June, JW Kitchen invites guests to experience the bold, vibrant, and deeply storied flavours of China’s Sichuan province. Known for its fearless use of spice and aromatic complexity, Sichuan cuisine is widely regarded as one of the most exciting culinary traditions in the world. The limited-time menu is a tribute to Chengdu, the provincial capital and a UNESCO-recognized City of Gastronomy, and serves as a rare opportunity to explore this rich and diverse culinary heritage in Goa. Guests will enjoy this exclusive culinary journey in the warm, relaxed ambiance of JW Kitchen, a space inspired by the easy elegance of a contemporary Goan beach house. With both indoor and balcony seating overlooking the Chapora River and Fort, the restaurant provides a scenic backdrop to this unique dining experience. Live kitchens and interactive culinary elements further enhance the guest experience, allowing diners to engage with the artistry behind each dish. The fiery flavours of the Land of Abundance The Sichuan region, often referred to as the ‘Land of Abundance’, is famed for its layered flavors, liberal use of chilli, garlic, and the unmistakable tingle of Sichuan peppercorns. The menu features a wide array of dishes that reflect the signature boldness of Sichuan cuisine while offering depth, balance, and variety. Among the appetisers, the Chengdu-style prawns are a standout, stir-fried with burnt chilli and scallions to deliver a perfect combination of heat and umami. The spicy mala mushrooms are a vegetarian highlight, offering the numbing, peppery sensation that defines the region’s iconic ‘mala’ flavor profile. The crispy tofu with Shaoxing wine offers delicate crunch balanced by the savory richness of aged Chinese rice wine, while the Chengdu-style lamb with cumin and coriander captures the earthy undertones of western China’s Muslim culinary influences. The soup course includes the deeply comforting Mala Xiaomian-style Noodle Soup, characterised by a spicy, numbing broth and soft, hand-pulled noodles or a Spicy Seafood Peppercorn Soup, which brings together shellfish and aromatics in a broth that is both fiery and fragrant, making for a bold yet balanced beginning to the meal. Main courses feature both classics and regional favourites, including the Wok-Fried pork Belly With Mountain Chilli And Sichuan Sauce is a rich, robust dish with layers of caramelised fat and spice, while the Sichuan Hot Pot Chicken offers a dry version of the classic hot pot: fiery, aromatic, and intensely flavourful. The Mala Xiang Guo, a dry stir-fried hotpot medley, showcases a colourful mix of proteins and vegetables tossed in aromatic oils and spices. Vegetarian diners will appreciate the Stir-Fried Tofu And Long Eggplant with Sichuan pepper and garlic sauce, which offers both heat and depth. The Dan Dan noodles, a dish symbolic of Sichuan street food culture, combine spicy minced meat with sesame, soy, and vinegar for a complex, tangy finish. To accompany the mains, the Sichuan-Style Fried Rice with edamame and burnt chilli delivers a smoky, satisfying flavour with each bite. The experience concludes on a sweet note with inventive desserts inspired by regional and Asian elements. The Mango Pudding Rice With Mango Ice Cream offers a light and tropical ending, while the Darsan With Jaggery-Sesame Gelato merges the crisp texture of fried noodles with the nutty sweetness of sesame and the warmth of jaggery, creating a dessert that bridges tradition and innovation.

JW Marriott Auckland opens post transformation in New Zealand
Marking the brand’s first hotel in the city, JW Marriott Auckland blends holistic well-being with the spirit of Auckland, set against the backdrop of the country’s breathtaking landscapes Pictured (left to right): JW Marriott Auckland Executive Suite, Executive Lounge, Indoor Swimming Pool JW Marriott, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, today unveiled the all-new JW Marriott Auckland, marking the brand’s debut in Aotearoa, New Zealand after an extensive multi-million-dollar transformation. Located in the vibrant heart of downtown Auckland, this luxurious urban retreat invites guests to restore and renew, with thoughtful touches that reflect both local culture and the brand’s commitment to holistic well-being. JW Marriott Auckland was designed by renowned Singaporean architecture firm O37 with Founder and Creative Director, Leonard Lee at the helm. The hotel’s design draws deeply from the rich tapestry of New Zealand’s art, culture, and natural beauty, as seen from its distinctive vantage point in Auckland’s city center. Intentionally curated, the hotel design fosters a profound connection to the locale, seamlessly blending a harmonious aesthetic through a refined balance of complementary contrasts inspired by Aotearoa New Zealand’s weather. Reflecting the shifting beauty of each season, the design weaves together contrasting textures - raw and polished, rough and smooth. This vision comes to life in ‘Watersplash’, a bespoke sculptural hand-blown chandelier by Lasvit, inspired by the flowing rivers and lakes of New Zealand, and crafted to cast reflections of water on the ceiling among many other touchpoints throughout the hotel. “JW Marriott embraces the belief that a connection to the natural environment is an important part of nourishing one’s soul. JW Marriott Auckland embodies the brand’s commitment to providing a haven where guests can focus on feeling whole in mind, body, and spirit,” says Jason Nuell, Area Vice President - Australia, New Zealand and Pacific, Marriott International. “JW Marriott Auckland is a destination where both locals and international travelers can experience a blend of modern luxury and exceptional hospitality in the heart of the city to pause, recharge, and reconnect.” Generously spaced, the hotel boasts 271 stylishly appointed guest rooms and 15 suites. Inspired by the beauty of Auckland’s landscape, the color palette in each suite subtly shifts, inspired by its natural surroundings - from deep greens and earthy tones of the Waitākere Ranges, to the sun-bleached sandstone and driftwood tones of the Waitematā Harbour, and the rich charcoals and softened rusts of the city’s volcanic landscape. Reflecting nature’s imperfections, guests will discover a deliberate asymmetry throughout the rooms seen in the intentional artwork placements and with no two bedside tables being the same. Spanning 133 square meters with sweeping views of the city skyline, the crown jewel of the hotel is the Presidential Suite. Additionally, the hotel boasts an Executive Suite, a 79-square-meter Ambassador Suite with open-plan living, and the Governor Suite - a two-bedroom apartment, offering a serene 171-square-meter sanctuary with a fully equipped gourmet kitchen. The guestroom artwork, meticulously crafted by Lancelot in 1886, is part of the historical collection from the Hulton archive and beautifully depicts an early illustration of Auckland Harbour. The hotel’s suites provide a mindful approach to the in-room offerings, featuring the latest Technogym fitness accessories and equipment. The in-suite experience also features an elevated minibar offering - Refuel Bar - a menu of healthy post-workout shakes, snacks, and refreshments, including kombucha, all designed to nurture guests’ physical well-being. All guest rooms come complete with yoga mats and risers, enhanced by an in-room program of wellness and workout routines. To further enhance guests’ well-being, performance-boosting room features promote rest and rejuvenation, such as meditation playlists and eco-friendly products from Aromatherapy Associates. An Urban Oasis JW Marriott Auckland is the ultimate destination for wellness, offering a range of holistic and cutting-edge experiences that support mental and physical well-being. This serene sanctuary, designed to calm and rejuvenate, features a Wellness Center spanning 220 square meters and includes a 14-meter-long heated indoor pool with panoramic harbor views and views of the center of Auckland. Guests can enjoy the contrasting wellness benefits of hot and cold recovery treatments, including a cold plunge pool, a dry-heat sauna, and a steam chamber. The state-of-the-art fitness center, exclusively available to guests, features innovative Technogym equipment, allowing guests to customize their workouts. Personal training sessions are available upon request. JW Marriott Auckland’s Wellness Concierge connects with guests before arrival to identify the purpose of their stay and set meaningful intentions. Upon arrival, the Wellness Concierge is on hand to offer tailored guidance, ensuring a truly enriching and restorative experience throughout their time at the hotel. In early 2026, the hotel plans to launch a series of holistic wellness experiences, including sound healing, designed to relax the senses. A Culinary Escape The hotel’s elegant lobby bar, Forum, offers barista-crafted coffee and small bites from local artisan bakehouse, Wild Wheat, available throughout the day. By night, Forum transforms into the perfect backdrop as a refined yet welcoming bar. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Waitakere Ranges, the cocktails at JW Marriott Auckland offer a unique taste of the landscape, with smoked woodchips infusing a distinct, earthy flavor that captures the essence of the surrounding mountains. JW Marriott Auckland’s signature restaurant, Trivet, is designed with the multicultural essence of Aotearoa New Zealand at the forefront. With Head Chef Wallace Mua at the helm, guests will experience a curated menu of the country’s finest produce. Inspired by the unique flavors and techniques of Polynesian cuisine around the world, its menu honors the heritage and vibrancy of the country’s dining scene with a sharing-style menu. In September, the hotel plans to launch a contemporary teppan house celebrating impressive Japanese-inspired dishes. Connection with nature is a signature element of the JW Marriott experience. Upon entering the hotel, guests are immediately greeted by a stunning moss wall in the foyer, bringing the lush, organic spirit of the garden indoors. This living feature, woven into the hotel's design, is not only a visual statement but also embodies the hotel’s commitment to sustainability and the celebration of nature. Up above, the hotel’s rooftop is home to the brand’s signature JW Garden, which features an herb garden and rescue bee hives. This rooftop oasis produces a wide variety of fresh herbs, edible flowers, and plants, which are used throughout the hotel’s venues, Forum and Trivet. Meeting & Events Located in Auckland’s central business district and just a short walk to the city’s major transport terminals and Commercial Bay shopping center, JW Marriott Auckland presents an exceptional array of venues for events, conferences, and meetings. With six flexible function spaces, the hotel seamlessly accommodates both large-scale gatherings and more intimate meetings. The JW Ballroom is the hotel’s largest meeting space, a pillarless ballroom perfect for a range of event layouts and divisible into thirds, featuring a 7-meter-wide LED screen, complemented by two additional 4-meter wide high-definition screens. With the capacity to accommodate up to 220 guests in a banquet style, it is perfect for lavish dinners or large-scale events. The newly designed venues showcase enhanced soundproofing and acoustics, creating an environment tailored to boost productivity. JW Marriott Auckland’s meeting spaces are designed with built-in high-tech sound and lighting. "I am honored to bring the JW Marriott vision of luxury and well-being to life in this vibrant city. Our goal is to create an exceptional guest experience and provide a sanctuary where guests can relax, recharge, and create lasting memories. Our team looks forward to welcoming guests to our urban oasis and showcasing the best of Auckland’s hospitality," said Girish Talreja, General Manager, JW Marriott Auckland.
