Why the change matters
Courtyard Ghaziabad has started its commercial build-out by hiring a Director of Sales with Marriott, Hilton, Accor, Hyatt and IHG experience, so nearby hotels should expect early pursuit of corporate and group accounts, although the missing opening date means the timing of that pressure is still unknown.
What to watch next
- A stated opening date or soft-launch window from Marriott or the property
- Announcement of a general manager or other department heads
- Corporate rate or event-venue pre-booking offers for Ghaziabad
- Further Marriott signings or openings in Delhi-NCR
- No date disclosed well after the sales hire, which would point to delay
