Marriott International is a giant hospitality company. They manage hotels, vacation rentals, and timeshares all over the world. With over 8,700 properties in 138 countries, you’re likely to find a Marriott hotel wherever you travel.

The company actually started small! Back in 1927, J. Willard and Alice Marriott opened a root beer stand in Washington D.C. That little stand grew into the hospitality giant we know today.
