Number of Marriott International hotels worldwide 2009-2018

Global hotel chain Marriott International accounted for 6,906 properties worldwide in 2018, up from 6,520 the previous year. The increase in properties from 2015 to 2016 can most likely be explained by Marriott’s acquisition of Canadian chain Delta Hotels and American chain Starwood Hotels and Resorts, in the years 2015 and 2016, respectively. Thanks to its purchases of Delta and Starwoods, Marriott increased its presence outside of the U.S. – with 1,800 properties in international locations in 2018.

Continuously expanding hotel portfolio

With its almost seven thousand properties across the world and around 30 brands in its portfolio, Marriott International is one of the largest hotel chains in the world. Meanwhile, competitor Hilton Worldwide had around one thousand less properties in 2018. However, fellow U.S. hotel chain Wyndham Hotels and Resorts led the 2018 ranking of the top hotel companies by number properties, accounting for almost nine thousand units in its global portfolio.

Which hotel chain has the most rooms?

Marriott International accounted for over 1.32 million hotel rooms worldwide in 2018, making it the leading hotel company in terms of number of guestrooms. Comparatively, Hilton Worldwide and Wyndham Hotels and Resorts had around 900 and 800 thousand rooms, respectively.
