Competitors
In recent years, Marriotts brand image has slid a bit and now is trying to rebound.
Cont.
Competitors such as Starwood and Hilton could have an advantage over Marriott in upgrading rooms because they own a larger proportion of their properties, so they don't need to persuade other owners or franchisees to pay for the investment.
To some degree, Marriott is playing catch-up. Westin introduced a higher-quality bed and emphasized design in 1999. Other major competitors such as Hilton and Hyatt have similar strategies.
Stakeholders
