History

= Foundation and early years =

The Marriott hotel chain began when the Hot Shoppes, Inc. restaurant company decided to diversify into hotels. Its first hotel opened in 1957 in Virginia, the Marriott Motor Hotel, adjacent to The Pentagon and Washington National Airport.{{Cite web|url=https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/vd66w0823?locale=en|title=Hot Shoppes, Inc., 1957 Annual Report|first=Marriott Hot|last=Shoppes|website=digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu}} The company's second hotel was the nearby Marriott Key Bridge Motor Hotel, which opened in 1959.{{Cite web|url=https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/9019s337w?locale=en|title=Hot Shoppes, Inc., 1959 Annual Report|first=Marriott Hot|last=Shoppes|website=digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu}} This was soon followed by Marriott Motor Hotels in Dallas in 1960, Philadelphia in 1961, Atlanta in 1965, and Saddle Brook, New Jersey in 1966.{{Cite web |title=Marriott-Hot Shoppes, Inc., 1967 Annual Report |url=https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/xk81jm27z?locale=en |website=Marriott International Inc.}}

Hot Shoppes, Inc. was renamed the Marriott Corporation in 1967,{{Cite news | url=https://www.alexandriava.gov/uploadedFiles/historic/info/attic/2013/Attic20130307HotShoppes.pdf | title=Before hotels, magnate dabbled in restaurants | work=Alexandria Times | date=March 7, 2013}} by which point it was operating 8 hotels.{{Cite web|url=https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/6682x4804?locale=en|title=Marriott Corporation, 1968 Annual Report|first=Inc|last=Marriott International|website=digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu}}

In 1967, Marriott acquired its first resort hotel, the historic Camelback Inn in Arizona, United States. In 1969, the Paraiso Marriott, the first international Marriott Hotel, opened in Acapulco, Mexico. That same year, Marriott bought the famed Essex House overlooking Central Park in New York City.{{Cite web|url=https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/v692t703w?locale=en|title=Marriott Corporation, 1969 Annual Report|first=Inc|last=Marriott International|website=digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu}}

In 1972, the Marriott lodging division acquired the Greek-based Sun Line cruise line,{{Cite web|url=https://digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu/concern/texts/5d86p114n?locale=en|title=Marriott Corporation, 1972 Annual Report|first=Inc|last=Marriott International|website=digitalcollections.lib.uh.edu}} which it owned until 1987.{{Cite web|url=https://cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/1992/06/ship-fleet-update/|title=Ship/Fleet Update - Cruise Industry News | Cruise News|first=Cruise Industry|last=News|website=cruiseindustrynews.com/}}

In 1975, Marriott Hotels & Resorts expanded to Europe, with the opening of the Amsterdam Marriott.{{Cite web|last=Net|first=Hospitality|title=Marriott Celebrates 35 Years in Europe|url=https://www.hospitalitynet.org/news/4045753.html|access-date=October 28, 2021|website=Hospitality Net|language=en-us}} In 1980, Marriott opened its first hotel in the Middle East, the Riyadh Marriott, in Saudi Arabia. The Cairo Marriott followed in 1981, the chain's first hotel in Africa.https://www.hospitalitynet.org/news/4127407.html

In these first several decades, Marriott International owned and managed many of the hotels within its portfolio. In 1993, the company decided to spin off the real estate ownership operations as a new company, Host Marriott, while retaining hotel management services under the Marriott International company name.

By 1999, there were over 360 Marriott Hotels & Resorts in 47 countries, and in November 2010, Marriott Hotels & Resorts announced the opening of what is said was their 500th property, the Pune Marriott Hotel & Convention Centre, in Pune, India.[https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/jw-marriott-opens-property-in-pune-110111600087_1.html JW Marriott opens property in Pune], Business Standard, January 21, 2013. Retrieved May 26, 2022. In September 2005, Marriott Hotels & Resorts unveiled its first new room designs in ten years. Dubbed "mSpot", the new rooms feature clean lines and updated technology.{{Cite web|url=http://www.planyourmeetings.com/newsbrief/2005/10/05/hitting-the-mspot/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070208123100/http://www.planyourmeetings.com/newsbrief/2005/10/05/hitting-the-mspot/|url-status=dead|title=Hitting the mSpot|archivedate=February 8, 2007}}

In August 2020, Marriott announced it was ending its Make A Green Choice program.{{citation needed|date=April 2024}} In October 2020, the UK data privacy watchdog fined Marriott Hotels £18.4 million for a serious data breach that exposed the millions of the companies customer's data to cyber-criminals.{{cite news |title=Marriott Hotels fined £18.4m for data breach that hit millions |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-54748843 |access-date=October 30, 2020 |work=BBC News |date=October 30, 2020}}

In July 2022, The Marriott Hotel revealed that the company's data had been breached. Hackers were able to compromise the hotels' data which led to 20GB of data which included internal documents and information in addition to consumer data such as credit card information. The hackers broke into a server at the Marriott Hotel at Baltimore-Washington International Airport. The group shared screenshots of customer information and were in contact with the Hotel chain. This data breach marks the third data breach for the company in the last 4 years.{{cite web|url=https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/06/marriott_hotels_suffer_yet_another/|title=Marriott Hotels admits to third data breach in 4 years|last=Vigliarolo|first=Brandon|date=6 July 2022|website=The Register|publisher=The Register|access-date=7 June 2022}}

In 2023, a criminal investigation was opened against Marriott in Poland, claiming that it acted fraudulently and unethically against the Lim company, the owner of a Warsaw hotel. During the COVID-19 period, Marriott would not keep up the hotel's maintenance and shifted the costs of maintaining the empty hotel to the Lim Company. At the same time Marriott prevented the Lim Company from renting the hotel to the National Health Fund for doctors' housing or contracting for advertising deals until the Lim Company would pay unwarranted bonuses to Marriott.{{Cite web|title=marriott ma problemy prokuratura wszczela sledztwo|url=https://dorzeczy.pl/kraj/467469/marriott-ma-problemy-prokuratura-wszczela-sledztwo.html|website=dorzeczy.pl}}
