It all began in 1927 with an A&W root beer stand. Founder J. Willard Marriott and his wife, Alice, got their young business off the ground by quenching people’s thirst during Washington D.C.’s hot, muggy summers. Good food and good service at a fair price became a guiding principle for Hot Shoppes restaurants—and for Marriott International as it grew...

Today Marriott is a true brand leader. Offering the most powerful portfolio in the industry, its 30 brands and 7,000+ properties across 131 countries and territories give people more ways to connect, experience and expand their world. Marriott collection consists of the Luxury, Premium, Select, Longer Stays and Collections segments.

The Luxury Collection

A little over a century ago, the era of steamships and trains let explorers travel with ease for the first time. One popular destination was Venice, at the heart of the Mediterranean and a crossroads between East and West.
