Courtyard by Marriott Expands Footprint with Tirupati Launch

Marking its entry into Andhra Pradesh, Courtyard by Marriott has opened its first hotel in Tirupati. Part of the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio, the property introduces contemporary comfort to one of India’s busiest pilgrimage destinations, home to the revered Tirumala Venkateswara Temple.

Strategically located around 15 minutes from the railway station and 20 minutes from the airport, the 130-room hotel caters to both pilgrims and business travellers. The rooms are equipped with modern amenities such as high-speed internet, ergonomic workspaces, and plush bedding, while guests can also enjoy facilities including a spa, an outdoor pool, and a 24/7 fitness centre.

Guests can choose from three distinct dining venues at the hotel. The Kitchen Collective offers all-day dining with a mix of global and Andhra cuisine, while The Spirit Society serves as a lounge for cocktails and small plates. Deck9 provides a relaxed, poolside dining experience.

The property also features over 6,000 sq. ft. of banquet and meeting space, including a spacious pillarless ballroom. Designed to host weddings, conferences, and social gatherings, the hotel is positioned as a prominent venue for events in the city.

Speaking on the opening, Samata Danday Chand, General Manager, Courtyard by Marriott Tirupati shared, "We are delighted to introduce Courtyard by Marriott to Tirupati, a city that holds immense cultural and spiritual significance.
