Thought for food

F&B EXPERIENCES ARE NOT JUST SERVICES OFFERED AT LUXURY HOTELS BUT
A CRUCIAL PART OF THE OVERALL HOTEL POSITIONING AND BRAND VALUE

W Marriott Pune is not only one of
the most iconic hotels in the country
but it is also known as the best food
and beverage destination in Pune
Jcity.
It houses a wide array of F&B outlets
including five award-winning restaurants:
Tao-Fu, authentic Chinese restaurant; Paasha,
rooftop bar and lounge offering North-West
Frontier cuisine; Alto-Vino, Italian specialty
restaurant; Spice Kitchen, multi-cuisine
restaurant; and Pune Baking Company, your
go-to Deli.
As we know, F&B operations have always
been crucial for luxury hotels and it plays an
important role at this behemoth, JW Marriott
Pune, being a key revenue driver and
contributing around 60 per cent to the overall
revenue of the hotel.
