MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Marriott International, Inc. is a stock corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware, United States, with IRS Employer Identification Number 52-2055918 and SEC Commission File No. 1-13881. Its Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker MAR, and its principal executive offices are at 7750 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. The company is a worldwide franchisor, operator and licensor of hotel, residential, timeshare and other lodging properties.
The registry entry above is a Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation record. Maryland is where the principal executive offices sit; it is not the state of incorporation. The fiscal 2025 Form 10-K, the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 and every 2026 Form 8-K state Delaware on the cover page. The legal form shown as “Private limited company (Ltd.)” is wrong for a US corporation with Exchange Act–registered securities, and 11 March 1993 cannot be this registrant’s incorporation date. The SDAT business search is captcha-protected, so the stored Department ID could not be opened.
The corporate history matters for entity matching. On 8 October 1993 Marriott Corporation renamed itself Host Marriott Corporation and distributed to shareholders all shares of its wholly owned subsidiary Marriott International, Inc. That first Marriott International, Inc. was renamed Sodexho Marriott Services, Inc. in April 1998 and remains a separate SEC registrant (CIK 0000905036). The company on this page was incorporated in Delaware as New Marriott MI, Inc., renamed Marriott International, Inc., and became public in March 1998 through a spin-off from that predecessor, distributed on 20 March 1998.
Marriott International, Inc. is deliberately asset-light: its Form 10-K states that it owns or leases very few of its lodging properties, less than one percent of the system. At year-end 2025 the system held 9,805 properties (1,779,936 rooms) across 145 countries and territories, of which 7,644 were franchised, licensed or held under similar third-party arrangements and only 2,017 (580,170 rooms) were company-operated. Its portfolio spans more than 30 brands, from The Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis to Courtyard, Moxy and citizenM, plus the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty programme.
For fiscal year 2025, ended 31 December 2025, Marriott reported consolidated total revenues of $26,186 million — $19,204 million of it cost reimbursement revenue and $5,303 million net fee revenues — operating income of $4,141 million and net income of $2,601 million. At year-end 2025 it managed the employment of approximately 414,000 associates, about 148,000 employed by Marriott itself. Its present scale dates largely from the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide acquisition, completed 23 September 2016. It bought the citizenM brand for $355 million in the 2025 third quarter and terminated its Sonder Holdings licensing agreement during 2025.

Directors and officers of Marriott International, Inc.
Marriott International, Inc. has a single-tier board elected annually. Twelve directors were elected at the annual meeting held on 8 May 2026, reported in the Form 8-K filed 13 May 2026: David S. Marriott (director since 2021, Chairman of the Board), Anthony G. Capuano (2021, President and Chief Executive Officer), Isabella D. Goren (2022), Deborah Marriott Harrison (2014), Frederick A. Henderson (2013, Lead Independent Director since 2022), Lauren R. Hobart (2023), Aylwin B. Lewis (2016), Margaret M. McCarthy (2019), Grant F. Reid (2023), Horacio D. Rozanski (2021), Susan C. Schwab (2015) and Sean C. Tresvant (2025). The board determined nine of the twelve to be independent in its February 2026 review; David S. Marriott, Mr Capuano and Mrs Harrison are not independent. J.W. Marriott, Jr. holds the honorary title of Chairman Emeritus and the 2026 proxy states expressly that he is not a member of the board and not a director.
The Form 10-K for fiscal 2025 lists fourteen executive officers as of 1 February 2026: Anthony G. Capuano (President and CEO, CEO since February 2021 and additionally designated President in February 2023), Kathleen K. Oberg (Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, Development, CFO since January 2016), Rena Hozore Reiss (Executive Vice President and General Counsel since December 2017), Felitia O. Lee (Controller and Chief Accounting Officer since August 2020), Benjamin T. Breland (Chief Human Resources Officer and Executive Vice President, Global Operations Services), Drew L. Pinto, Peggy F. Roe, Jennifer C. Mason, David S. Hill, Neal Jones, Satyajit Anand, Rajeev Menon, William P. Brown and Yibing Mao. Several of those roles changed during 2026, as set out below.
Recent officer changes
- Chief Financial Officer. Kathleen K. Oberg notified the company on 11 July 2025 of her intention to retire; she stepped down as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, Development immediately following the filing of the fiscal 2025 Form 10-K on 10 February 2026, and retired from the company on 31 March 2026. Jennifer C. Mason, previously Global Officer, Treasurer and Risk Management, was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer with effect from that date. Announced 14 July 2025 (Form 8-K) and confirmed in the Form 10-K filed 10 February 2026.
- Group President, United States and Canada. William P. Brown notified the company on 6 January 2026 that he would step down from the role effective 28 March 2026 and retire on 30 June 2026. The Form 10-K records that Satyajit Anand was appointed Group President, United States, Canada, and Caribbean & Latin America, and Neal Jones appointed President, Europe, Middle East & Africa, both effective 28 March 2026. Form 8-K filed 9 January 2026.
- Board. Debra L. Lee, a director and chair of the Inclusion and Social Impact Committee, informed the company on 3 February 2026 that she would not stand for re-election; she left the board at the conclusion of her term on 8 May 2026, reducing it from thirteen to twelve members. Form 8-K filed 6 February 2026.
Data availability
Current officer data is full for a US listed company: the board with joining years and committee roles comes from the annual proxy statement and the executive officers with appointment dates from Part III of the Form 10-K, both supplemented by Form 8-K Item 5.02 reports. Nationality is not disclosed. Neither Delaware corporate filings nor SEC disclosure records citizenship for directors or officers, and country of residence is not published either; nationality must not be inferred from the Bethesda service address. Ages are published; dates of birth are not.
The 44 officer rows stored against this record should not be relied on and differ materially from the filings. They include a registered agent, C T Corporation System, as an officer, together with a corrupted duplicate of the same name, and they list “Alice Marriott” and “J. Marriott” with the job title “Founder”, which is not a corporate office and appears in no filing. Thirty rows carry the job title “Governor”, a term used in some US state business registries for a governing person but unknown to Delaware corporate law and absent from every Marriott filing; together with registered-agent addresses in Olympia, Washington and Plantation, Florida this suggests the set is an aggregation of state business registrations rather than the company’s board. Arne M. Sorenson is marked ACTIVE as both “Governor” and “Pres”, although Anthony G. Capuano has been Chief Executive Officer since February 2021 and Mr Sorenson holds no position in any current filing; J.W. Marriott, Jr. is marked ACTIVE as chairman, although David S. Marriott is Chairman of the Board and the proxy records Mr Marriott, Jr. as Chairman Emeritus and not a director. Rena Reiss and Carolyn Handlon each appear twice. Forty-two of the 44 rows carry no appointment or resignation date and all 44 are marked ACTIVE. Six of the twelve directors elected in May 2026 — Isabella D. Goren, Lauren R. Hobart, Margaret M. McCarthy, Grant F. Reid, Horacio D. Rozanski and Sean C. Tresvant — do not appear in the stored set at all.

Group Structure
Group structure of Marriott International, Inc.
Marriott International, Inc. is the ultimate parent of the Marriott group. It is a Nasdaq-listed Delaware corporation and no filing reviewed discloses an immediate or ultimate parent above it. Exhibit 21 to the Form 10-K for fiscal 2025, filed 10 February 2026, lists 746 subsidiaries as of 31 December 2025, expressly omitting joint ventures which in aggregate would not constitute a significant subsidiary. Those 746 entities are spread across 119 jurisdictions of incorporation; 297 are Delaware entities and the largest non-US groupings are Germany (19), the Netherlands (17), the United Kingdom (14), Luxembourg (14), South Africa (14), France (13) and Brazil (12). The exhibit gives entity names and jurisdictions only — no registration numbers and no ownership percentages, which are not disclosed anywhere in the group’s public filings.

Recent structural changes
- 23 September 2016 — Starwood combination. Marriott International, Inc. completed the acquisition of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., a Maryland corporation, under the merger agreement of 15 November 2015 as amended on 20 March 2016. In the sequence of combination transactions Starwood was converted into a Maryland limited liability company and renamed Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, LLC, and became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Marriott. This transaction produced most of the non-Marriott-branded entities in the present structure. (Form 8-K filed 23 September 2016.)
- 2025 third quarter — citizenM. Marriott acquired the citizenM brand and related intellectual property from citizenM Holding BV and affiliates for $355 million, with earn-out payments of up to $110 million possible. It was accounted for as an asset acquisition, not an entity acquisition, so it added a brand and contract assets rather than a subsidiary; 37 hotels (8,789 rooms) were integrated into the system in the fourth quarter. (Form 10-K for fiscal 2025, Note 3.)
- 2025 — Sonder. Marriott terminated its licensing agreement with Sonder Holdings Inc., and all Sonder properties were removed from the portfolio, reflected in the year-end 2025 property and room counts. (Form 10-K for fiscal 2025.)
Data availability
Partial. The subsidiary list itself is complete to the standard Regulation S-K requires and identifies every entity by name and jurisdiction, but neither Delaware nor Maryland publishes intra-group ownership, so no ownership or voting percentage can be stated for any of the 746 entities beyond the one case the 2016 Form 8-K settles. Registration numbers are not published in Exhibit 21.
The corporate-linkage tree stored against this record is unreliable and should not be read as the group structure. It holds 797 nodes, with 570 entities attached directly to the root as a flat list and no intermediate holding levels, although the filings show at least one of them — Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, LLC — to be an indirect subsidiary. Thirty-two names are duplicated. Four nodes still name “Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.”, an entity that ceased to exist on 23 September 2016. A number of nodes are hotels or brand names rather than legal entities, for example “München Flughafen Marriott Hotel”, “Courtyard By Marriott” and “Autograph Collection Hotels”. At least three — Apple Nine Hospitality Management, Inc., Summit Hotel TRS 106, LLC and IA Urban Hotels Annapolis Junction TRS, LLC — do not appear in Exhibit 21 and are not recorded as subsidiaries in any Marriott filing. Finally, the single node flagged in the stored tree as this record’s own entity is Marriott International Global Holding, Inc., a Delaware subsidiary, not Marriott International, Inc.; the identifier attached to it, “US MD 5639717”, is a Maryland number, while Exhibit 21 gives that subsidiary’s jurisdiction of incorporation as Delaware.
