Integration Update | Owner and Franchise Engagement + Property Activities


Teams throughout the Starwood + Marriott organizations are hard at work planning for the anticipated legal close of the Marriott + Starwood acquisition. Until legal close, we remain competitors and there are strict guidelines about what we can share and communicate. However, with legal close approaching, assuming regulatory approval, we want to make sure hotels have the tools and resources needed to successfully lead their teams through the integration, so we have begun to engage with hotel GMs. Additionally, we wanted to share that at the above-property level, a top priority for Marriott is to ensure that we are best structured to support hotels, as well as owners and franchisees, following legal close. With this in mind, we are actively working on the organizational structure and executive leadership. We will keep you informed of any organizational changes that would take effect anticipating a legal close when we are able to do so. Our leadership team looks forward to providing you a more comprehensive integration update in the coming weeks. Should you have any questions in the meantime, please let us know.
