The Marriott Hotel Chain is a family venture, spanning its tradition originally all the back to 1927. J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott had an entrepreneurial idea in Washington DC for an outdoor pub, which then later grew into this multinational business that expands more than 2,700 properties the world over from the US to 65 other countries around the world.
Mostly the Marriott has five stars, and is a luxury hotel of the finest class. No other hotel in the world provides the kind of name brands that Marriott can provide. The name is so famous in fact that their on-line store specializes in decorations and furnishings for the home owner.
What makes the Marriott Hotel Chain Strong?
The Marriott, unlike other luxury hotels of the same stature is different in that it offers 75 years of family tradition that has remained a fixed core in the company culture. For example, the people are the most important aspect of the Marriott experience. The environment is one that inspires a spirit to serve.
With an atmosphere that is friendly and home-like the workplace relationships between both employees and visitors gives the Marriott a reputation that is world wide. “Built to Last” has been the Marriott motto for almost eight decades. Slow but sure, the Marriott has grown steadily at a pace that inspires focused achievements that reach out to a globally managed administration.
Everywhere the Marriott goes the qualities, customs and culture of that country become an integral part of the company culture. Blending cultures seems to be the Marriott strong point, building on the ethical strengths of an ever more global culture.
“Caring, depending, trustworthy and unshakeable conviction that people are the Marriott’s most important asset.”
