Marriott International

The world’s largest hotel company by room count, operating a vast portfolio of over 30 brands across 141 countries and territories. Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, it manages, franchises, and licenses more than 9,800 properties and nearly 1.78 million rooms globally as of early 2026.
Business Model
Marriott typically does not own the buildings. Instead, they use an “asset-light” model where they manage or franchise the brand to property owners while providing the reservation system, marketing, and loyalty program.
Marriott categorises its hotels into four main segments:
  • Luxury: The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, JW Marriott, W Hotels, EDITION, and The Luxury Collection.
  • Premium: Marriott Hotels, Sheraton, Westin, Renaissance, and Le Méridien.
  • Select: Courtyard, Fairfield, Aloft, Moxy, and AC Hotels.
  • Long Stay: Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, and Marriott Executive Apartments.
Marriott Bonvoy
This is their global travel program with over 210 million members. It allows guests to earn and redeem points across all 30+ brands for free nights, room upgrades, and “Moments” (exclusive experiences like concerts or sporting events).
