The Collection brands are focused on offering consumers a range of independent properties with unique stories inspired by their destination, and providing owners access to all the benefits of the Marriott system while retaining their hotel's individuality.

Research from Tripadvisor about consumer behaviors during the past year demonstrates quicker than average recovery in clicks on hotels with the words “boutique,” “luxury,” “quaint,” “romantic” and “charming” in their description. Social media analysis conducted on behalf of Marriott saw a significant year-over-year uptick in searches such as “architecture” + “tells a story” (+155%), “piece of history” + “hotel” (+100%); and “storytelling” + “building” +“design” (+322%).
“We know guests are seeking to immerse themselves in the richness of the locale, to discover what defines the destination, and to experience one-of-a-kind hotels,” said Tina Edmundson, Global Brand & Marketing Officer, Marriott International. “This has become increasingly important over the past year, as those who are waiting to travel are counting down the days until they make memories on the road again. Our Collection brands provide travelers with these truly authentic experiences, enveloped in the convenience and amazing benefits of being part of the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio. With new travel opportunities on the horizon, we look forward to welcoming guests to our distinctive properties in key cities and resort destinations around the world.”
