Courtyard by Marriott Ghaziabad names Ankur Paul Director of Sales ahead of Delhi-NCR opening
Our read
The Ghaziabad Courtyard is probably in a normal pre-opening sequence, with more leadership hires and a date announcement likely to follow, though the missing date leaves real room for a slip.
For operators
Courtyard Ghaziabad has started its commercial build-out by hiring a Director of Sales with Marriott, Hilton, Accor, Hyatt and IHG experience, so nearby hotels should expect early pursuit of corporate and group accounts, although the missing opening date means the timing of that pressure is still unknown.
