2018 AH&LA Annual Assessment Details and Opt-Out Information
U.S. Only | To continue to support the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA), Marriott will again be facilitating the collection of the annual assessment on behalf of our owners and franchisees and will remit all funds collected directly to the AH&LA. As in prior years, we encourage all hotels, including Marriott Rewards and SPG, to participate in the $3.00 per-room assessment for 2018.
Managed by Marriott properties will be charged via journal entry in February through the General Ledger. Franchised properties, Gaylord, The Ritz-Carlton and properties in Hawaii will be charged through the February OFB invoice (received in March 2018).
Managed by Marriott hotel owners that do not wish for their hotels to participate are asked to email Owner & Franchise Services by December 29 and notify their General Manager(s) of this decision. Otherwise, all hotels will be considered participating.
Franchised hotels will be provided with opt-out details via the December 11 Weekly Update. Franchisees that do not wish for their hotels to participate are asked to notify their General Manager(s) so they may complete the opt-out survey prior to December 29.
We appreciate your support of this important initiative. Should you have any questions, please let us know.
