The Future of Marriott: Radical Retail Reinvention

At Brittain Resorts & Hotels, we recognize the unique dynamic that drives success within Marriott-branded hotels: Marriott provides the tools, systems, brands, and standards, while franchisees focus on running great hotels. This synergy requires both a clear understanding of corporate expectations and the operational expertise to execute them effectively.

As the hospitality landscape evolves, Marriott has identified key challenges, including labor and talent dynamics, competitive pressures, and the transformative role of technology. Staying ahead of these shifts is critical, and Brittain Resorts & Hotels aligns seamlessly with Marriott’s forward-thinking strategies.

Our dedication to staying current with Marriott’s evolving priorities was demonstrated by our participation in Marriott International’s exclusive Executive Workshop at their headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland. This two-day event featured keynote addresses from hospitality visionaries such as David Marriott, Chairman of the Board, and Liam Brown, Group President, U.S. & Canada, who provided insights into the future of Marriott hotels and the operational priorities for franchisees.
