Marriott International opened its 10,000th property, the JW Marriott Ranthambore Resort & Spa in India.

This milestone occurs as the company approaches its 100th anniversary. Marriott has expanded from a nine-seat root beer stand into a global leader operating in 146 countries and territories.

The new luxury resort sits near Ranthambore National Park. It joins a portfolio of nearly 700 luxury properties worldwide.

President and CEO Anthony Capuano attributed the achievement to global team dedication and property owner trust. The JW Marriott branding emphasizes the company's strategic focus on the luxury segment.
