Marriott International is a leading global hospitality company that operates, franchises, and licenses approximately 1.8 million rooms across roughly 30 brands worldwide. The company serves diverse market segments through its portfolio, which includes luxury brands such as JW Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton, and W Hotels, as well as premium and select-service properties like Marriott Hotels, Sheraton, and Courtyard.

Marriott's asset-light business model emphasizes management and franchise agreements rather than property ownership, allowing for scalable growth and capital efficiency. The company generates revenue primarily through management fees, franchise fees, and incentive fees from its global network of properties. With significant presence in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and other regions, Marriott operates through multiple distribution channels including direct bookings, partnerships with travel intermediaries, and its Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program. The company continues to expand its brand portfolio and geographic footprint while focusing on luxury segment growth and emerging market opportunities.
