Marriott was named Winner of Best Hotel Brand of the Year at the 2025 Travelling for Business Awards, confirming the world's largest hotel company as the brand business travellers trust above all others.
By almost any measure, Marriott's estate is without equal: thousands of properties across some thirty brands, from
The Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis at the summit through W, EDITION and Westin to the dependable Courtyards and Moxys that serve the working week. For corporate travel programmes, that reach is a superpower - a single negotiated agreement can cover a team's entire year, from a Heathrow airport stay to a Manhattan conference to a project posting in Asia. Whatever the city and whatever the rate cap, a Marriott flag fits.
Crucially, the machine keeps improving. Travelling for Business has reviewed the
London Heathrow Marriott as a genuine MICE powerhouse at the UK's global gateway; the
New York Marriott Marquis has emerged from a multi-million-dollar transformation sharper than ever; and properties such as the
JW Marriott The Rosseau in Canada's Muskoka lakes show the group's flair for turning far-flung settings into world-class venues for incentives and leadership retreats. The app puts mobile key, chat and ordering in every traveller's pocket, while meetings and events capacity remains the industry's deepest.
Underpinning it all is Marriott Bonvoy - which completed a family double by winning Best Travel Rewards Program at this year's ceremony. Estate and programme reinforce one another: the more places points earn and burn, the stickier every stay becomes.
Voters' verdict was decisive in a Finalist field of Hilton and Hyatt - hospitality's heavyweight division settled by the travellers who know all three best.
The scale statistics almost defy belief - properties across more than 140 countries and territories, with the industry's deepest development pipeline adding new flags weekly - yet the group keeps stretching the definition of a stay: Homes & Villas extends Marriott standards into private rentals, while Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy serves the long assignments hotels never suited. Wherever the definition of travel goes next, Marriott is already building there.
As the Travelling for Business Awards look towards 2026, Marriott sets the benchmark for what a hotel brand can be: scale without sameness, consistency without complacency, and excellence repeated a million times a night around the world.
