Process Reminder for Changes in Management Company


As changes in management companies continue to occur, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you of Marriott’s policies surrounding changes in management companies of franchised hotels.

As outlined within Marriott’s current franchise Management Company Acknowledgements (and, for management companies of legacy SPG hotels, the Operator Consent Letter), in the event that there’s a request to change a management company, the franchisee will not allow the Management Agreement to expire or terminate without providing Marriott (the franchisor) at least 30 days’ notice, unless the franchisee is removing the management company due to theft, fraud, or other material defaults.

To facilitate this process, Marriott recommends that you provide written communication to your AVP/Account Executive or OFSTransactions@marriott.com to serve as notification of your desire to change a management company. After proving this notification, official Marriott approval is required in order to undergo the change. You will receive a response back from Marriott which acknowledges receipt of your request and addresses next steps.

Should you have any questions, contact OFSTransactions@marriott.com.
