Reminds me that I should have looked for or opened a thread about Starwood hotels coming to Kashmir (Jammu&Kashmir) in India:
Sheraton Srinagar
Four Points by Sheraton Srinagar
LeMeridien Srinagar
Four Points by Sheraton Sonmarg Resort
I've seen them listed in 2016 too, but when -- if ever -- they open is still unknown to me.

Anyone in here got any inside info on Le meridien Goa. Spg site claims it to be opened in SEP 17, but have been pushed back at least twice already. Also if somebody knows if it's a brand new property or existing hotel i would appreciate the info.
Have a trip to delhi in mid October and would like to spend a few nights by the sea. W not working because of high rates and CAT 6

Keeping an eye on when reservations open; would love to visit Goa between October and December and the Le Méridien would be an ideal place to shack up.
UPDATE: Just checked the hotel's website and they've actually moved the opening up to August 15th. Interesting...

What do you want to know about the W Goa? It's not as sheeshy as some of the other Ws, with prices to reflect that. But, unlike with the more urbanized LeMeridien, with the W you get a beach right there even as you are sort of a resort captive unless taking a car/scooter to other parts of Goa.
The Four Points by Sheraton Srinagar is open. I have to wonder if any of the Kashmiri traders doing business at that property are doing business at one of the Starwood properties in Goa. It seems to be a seasonal flow.

Rates have been loaded for new ITC Goa (formerly Park Hyatt). No category announced yet. Rates are even higher than the W!
