NILE Hospitality has announced the signing of its first Marriott-branded hotel in Patna, marking a key development for the city’s hospitality market and a significant step in NILE Hospitality’s national expansion strategy. The project introduces Marriott Hotels & Resorts to Patna, making it the city’s first international hotel under a global hospitality brand.

The upcoming Marriott Hotel Patna will feature 205 rooms and will be located approximately 15 minutes from Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport. The property is positioned to cater to both business and leisure demand and is expected to set new service and operational benchmarks for the region. According to the announcement, the hotel will offer access to Marriott Bonvoy’s global loyalty network and operate under Marriott International’s established full-service standards.

Planned facilities include a premium all-day dining restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, and extensive banqueting and lawn spaces. With this infrastructure, the hotel is expected to become one of Patna’s largest venues for weddings, social functions, and corporate events.

The signing represents NILE Hospitality’s first partnership with Marriott International and reinforces the company’s focus on expanding across high-growth markets in India through collaborations with global brands. The Patna project forms part of NILE’s broader growth roadmap and supports its positioning as a rapidly scaling hospitality management platform.
