Its portfolio includes The Ritz-Carlton, Sheraton and Courtyard, giving hotel owners different formats for serving guests. Most properties belong to third-party owners: Marriott earns management fees tied to hotel revenue and profit, or franchise royalties for use of its brands and systems, while owning or leasing a small share itself. 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.
