I am in India. Booked JW Marriott for a day (with points, off course).
This experienceis mind blowing. Uttapa to Idli and Poha and chai for breakfast. People are so courteous. Water pipe in toilet. 😍

Agreed OP. Had a similar experience at ITC hotels which are basically SPG.

And crazy how the top tier Marriott properties in India (or at least the ones in my hometown) are barely category 5 or 6.

OP- which location?

What's a water pipe in toilet?

lol, ok

Always love redeeming points in India

Which JW? Love the ones in Mumbai & BLR.

JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar.

OP, I stayed at JW Marriott Sahar recently too and concur. The buffet choices are just out of the world. In fact, my family stayed there for a day and were blown away too.

Her reasoning is that Indian American kids are taking huge loans to study here and those jobs are being grabbed by FOBs. Never thought I would hear something like this from her. Anyone else come across such behavior from Indian Americans?

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
