About Marriott Hotels
Marriott began as a root beer stand in Washington in 1927 and opened its first hotel thirty years later. The flagship brand sits in the upper-upscale tier, and the family that founded the company still holds a substantial stake. The group runs more than thirty brands in total, and the flagship name accounts for only a fraction of the rooms that carry the company's loyalty scheme.
