Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Series by Marriott Launches with 26 Properties in India

— November 20, 2025 — Eco
Series by Marriott, a new hotel collection, marked its worldwide inaugural launch through a partnership with an established Indian hotel group, The Fern Hotels & Resorts. This strategic initiative involves the immediate opening of twenty-six properties across twenty-three distinct locations within India. This venture will contribute over 1,900 rooms to the parent company's portfolio.

The Series by Marriott focuses on merging regionally specific character with the reliability of an international hospitality standard. The hotel concept targets the 'global domestic' traveler segment that seeks familiarity alongside local authenticity. The initial portfolio emphasizes eco-sensitive operations and is situated across a diverse range of settings — from major urban centers to tranquil retreats.

The Series by Marriott will also integrate the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program.
