JW Marriott launches ‘Stay in the Moment’ campaign featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

JW Marriott has unveiled its ‘Stay in the Moment’ campaign film featuring global brand ambassador Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, highlighting the importance of mindfulness, personal connections and meaningful experiences in luxury travel.

Part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of more than 30 brands, JW Marriott’s latest campaign builds on its collaboration with Bachchan announced in June. Shot at JW Marriott Juhu, the film follows the actor through wedding celebrations, shared meals, toasts and moments of discovery, encouraging guests to slow down and appreciate experiences with loved ones.

The film revolves around the question, “What makes a moment a moment?” and concludes with the message that meaningful experiences emerge when people fully engage with the present. The campaign reflects the brand’s focus on well-being, connection and intentional travel.

The initiative comes amid growing demand for wellness-oriented luxury hospitality. A 2025 study by The Luxury Group by Marriott International found that 90% of affluent Asia-Pacific travellers considered wellness experiences a key factor in booking decisions, compared with 80% a year earlier.

In Kolkata, the campaign highlights opportunities for luxury hotels to attract travellers seeking wellness, personalised hospitality and memorable experiences. As premium hospitality brands compete for discerning guests, experience-led offerings could help strengthen their appeal among affluent travellers in the city and eastern India.

The campaign film is available on JW Marriott’s Instagram account.
