Manages and franchises hotels around the world

Marriott International manages and franchises hotels and resorts for leisure and business travelers, with brands spanning luxury stays, select-service hotels and extended visits. Its portfolio includes The Ritz-Carlton, Sheraton and Courtyard, giving hotel owners different formats for serving guests.

The company also licenses its names for branded residences and vacation ownership properties. With operating roots dating to 1927, Marriott is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland.
