Marriott Bonvoy: Guide to the 30+ Hotel Brands

Marriott International

The Marriott hotel chain has more than 30 brands in its portfolio.

With so much choice, Marriott International is sure to have at least one or more hotels in a given region. This meets the needs of its clientele based on each person’s travel style and budget (and, in doing so, helps ensure their loyalty!).

This way, you can book a basic room at the TownePlace Suites Petawawa or a villa on stilts at the sumptuous The Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort. There’s something for every taste and every price.

Marriott is one of the world’s largest hotel chains. Mr. John Willard Marriott and his wife, Alice Marriott, entered the hotel industry with the opening of their first hotel in January 1957 in Arlington, Virginia. Originally, the base room rate was $8 with an additional $1 fee per person in the guest’s car.

Today, Marriott International counts:

• More than 10,000 properties
• 1,600,000 rooms
• Hotels located in 148 countries and territories worldwide
• 411,000 employees

You can see all the hotels at a glance on this map of Marriott hotels around the world.

There are four categories of Marriott brands:

• Long stays
• Select
• Premium
• Luxury
