Ms. Kadambari Sabharwal Talwar has taken charge as General Manager of The Westin Bengaluru Airport, a new luxury wellness hotel located near Kempegowda International Airport, ahead of its opening.
Kadambari moves from Courtyard by Marriott Bengaluru Hebbal, where she served as General Manager after taking over the role in July 2023. Her earlier roles include Hotel Manager at Four Points by Sheraton Whitefield and Market Director of Sales and Marketing for both the Bengaluru and Mumbai markets, which have established her as a respected figure in luxury hospitality.
With over 25 years in the hospitality industry, she celebrates a quarter-century milestone with Marriott International in 2026. An alumna of IHM Aurangabad (class of 2001), she began her career with Taj Hotels before joining Marriott. She is also a member of the Marriott International Women’s Ambassador Network and Vice President (Karnataka) of WICCI Hospitality. When not working, she enjoys travelling, exploring new cities and outdoor sports.
The Westin Bengaluru Airport is being opened by Marriott International and Juniper Hotels. Juniper Hotels is the developer and acquired the roughly 6.5-acre parcel for about ₹325 crore. The hotel is located at Sy. No. 103/B-9 of Shettigere Village, Jala Hobli, Bangalore North Taluk, near the airport toll, around 10 minutes from Kempegowda International Airport. It will operate under Marriott Bonvoy.
The first phase, targeted for Q4 2026, will comprise 238 contemporary guest rooms and 22 suites, including Standard, Executive Club Rooms, and Junior, Executive, Balcony and Presidential Suites. The second phase will add around 250 keys and serviced apartments.
Every room will feature the signature Westin Heavenly® Bed.

The hotel will offer over 25,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor event space, including the 9,600 sq. ft. pillarless Gulmohar Ballroom.
Dining options will include The Harvest, an all-day dining destination rooted in the Westin philosophy of Eat Well, with fresh dishes featuring locally sourced produce. The BLR Bakehouse will be a relaxed all-day café serving fresh coffee, pastries, sandwiches and light meals, with the option to stay or grab and go.
