Courtyard by Marriott announced the opening of Courtyard by Marriott Tirupati, bringing the brand’s intuitive hospitality to one of India’s busiest pilgrimage destinations. This will be the first Courtyard by Marriott in Andhra Pradesh. Home to the sacred Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, the city welcomes millions of visitors annually. Courtyard by Marriott Tirupati, easily accessible via road, a 15-minute drive from the railway station and a 20 minutes’ drive from the Tirupathi Airport is thoughtfully designed for discerning pilgrims and modern travellers alike, blending timeless styles with contemporary comfort, creating an atmosphere that is both peaceful and inviting.
“This opening represents an important milestone in our growth strategy in India, as we continue to expand our footprint in high-demand destinations and enter newer markets with strong travel potential”. Kiran Andicot, Senior Vice President – South Asia, Marriott International, commented, “Tirupati is one of the country’s most prominent spiritual destinations, drawing significant year-round footfall, and establishing a presence here is a meaningful achievement for us. It reflects our ambition to serve a broader spectrum of guests and to bring trusted, high-quality hospitality to destinations where travel demand is both substantial and evolving. Courtyard by Marriott is well-positioned to serve a destination like Tirupati, where travellers are looking for comfort, connectivity, and a stay experience that is both seamless and relevant.”
The 130-room hotel features accommodation tailored for every guest. The rooms and suites are designed to maximize space and natural light and feature plush bedding, ergonomic workspaces equipped with high-speed connectivity, and design elements that facilitate both relaxation and productivity – a hallmark of the brand. After a full day of activities, guests can relax at the spa or enjoy refreshing cocktails at the outdoor pool. In addition, the hotel has a 24/7 fitness centre to ensure guests’ exercise routines go uninterrupted.
Dining at the hotel is anchored by three distinct food and beverage outlets that cater to different moments of the day. The Kitchen Collective, the hotel’s all-day dining, offers a mix of wellness-inspired fare, global favourites, and authentic Andhra flavours in a lively setting. The Spirit Society, a chic lounge, brings together crafted cocktails and globally inspired small plates in a space designed to transition effortlessly from day to evening. For a more relaxed, open-air experience, Deck9 offers poolside refreshments and a curated selection of small local and international dishes, making it an inviting setting for leisurely afternoons and sunset gatherings.
For events and celebrations, the hotel offers extensive banquet and meeting facilities spanning 6,220 sq. ft. highlighted by a grand pillarless ballroom complemented by additional flexible event spaces. Designed to host weddings, conferences, corporate meetings, and social gatherings, these venues pair modern technology with elegant interiors, positioning Courtyard by Marriott Tirupati as one of the city’s premier destinations for events and large-scale celebrations.
