Marriott International, Inc.

Marriott International operates through hotel brands, management contracts, franchise and license agreements, residential projects and timeshare. The company reports its hotel portfolio as a system that includes properties owned by Marriott as well as properties owned by outside owners and operated under Marriott arrangements.

Across markets

At year-end 2025, Marriott reported 9,805 properties and 1,779,936 rooms across 145 countries and territories. Its portfolio comprised 2,017 company-operated properties, 7,644 franchised, licensed or other properties, and 144 residential properties. Marriott also reported managing the employment of about 414,000 associates: roughly 148,000 were Marriott employees, while 266,000 worked for hotel owners whose employment Marriott manages. Franchisee and licensee staff outside that employment-management count are excluded. The hotel system therefore supports a large global workforce and owner network, but the property count is not a count of buildings Marriott owns. Its 2026 Serve 360 report records 2025 energy use of 18.2 million MWh at managed properties and 19.8 million MWh at franchised properties, plus 146 million cubic metres of water withdrawn at managed properties. It reports 1.265 million tonnes of Scope 1 emissions, 5.360 million tonnes of market-based Scope 2 emissions, and 12.451 million tonnes for selected Scope 3 categories. Marriott says the emissions, energy and water data received limited external assurance; it also changed its property-level validation method in 2025, so intensity comparisons with earlier years may not be directly comparable.
