Marriott International does not merely own a single hotel chain, but rather operates as a massive global hospitality conglomerate that owns, franchises, and manages a vast portfolio of over thirty distinct hotel brands spanning every tier of lodging. Its extensive brand family ranges from select-service and extended-stay properties like Courtyard, Residence Inn, Fairfield, and SpringHill Suites to premium lifestyle hotels like Aloft and Moxy, alongside luxury flagships such as The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, JW Marriott, W Hotels, Edition, and The Luxury Collection, creating an expansive global lodging ecosystem.
