KERNenergie’s International Partner : The Marriott International Hotel Group
For quite some time, we have been a proud international partner of this prestigious global Hotel Group that has more than 30 unique brands with widely differing concepts, each aimed at a variety of different target markets. Part of the global Portfolio includes the following luxurious Hotels
»The Ritz Carlton«, »JW Marriott«, »Renaissance Hotels« and »Courtyard«. We would like to give you a short glimpse into the interesting story behind this historic group of hotels.
From the beginning until today
J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott founded the Business in 1927, approximately 90 years ago, under the leadership of the Marriott Familie. Everything began differently than one would expect from the founding years of a global Hotel Group: A&W Root Beer Franchise, under the name Hot Shoppes, offered the couple warm meals at a fair price in Washington. In 1937, the business expanded to lunch boxes for air travelers at Hoover Airport. It wasn’t until 1957, that Marriott achieved a true milestone in Hotel History, with the founding of the first Motor Hotel (Motel). Under the leadership of J. Willard’s Son, Bill, Marriott developed into one of the leading international hotel groups in the world in the 25 years to follow.
A few of the major Milestones in the following years were:
• 1969 – The opening of the first international hotel in Acapulco, Mexico
• 1972 – Marriott became partner of Sun Line, making Marriott the first Hotel to join the Cruise-Ship Business
• 1985 – J.W. Marriott, Jr. became President of the Board of Directors after the death of J. Willard Marriott, Sr.
• In the late 80s, Marriott began its innovative model to target a wide variety of markets with individualized brands, with the goal to become the Nr. 1 Brand in the Hotel Business.
• 1995 – Marriott acquires 49% of the Ritz-Carlton Hotels
• 2012 – Arne Sorensen becomes President and CEO of the Marriott International Hotel Group
• 2015 – Marriott International acquires Delta Hotels & Resorts in Canada and becomes the largest full-service hotel company in the nation
One of the most recent milestones was achieved in 2016 with the acquisition of Starwood Hotels & Resorts. The Marriott International Hotel Group became the largest Hotel Group in the world, thanks to the acquisition. It now contains nearly 6,000 hotels and is represented worldwide in 120 different nations.
