Dissecting Marriott Hotels One Business Trip At A Time

The Marriott Blog Empire

Okay, perhaps I’m being a bit dramatic with the title. But Marriott is now publishing three blogs on a regular basis. And they have a YouTube channel.

Chairman Bill Marriott’s Marriott on the Move blog (link - rss) was started first. Then a few months ago Brad Nelson launched Marriott in the Kitchen (link - rss) to highlight the culinary experience. More recently Marriott created a site to highlight the drastic design changes coming to Courtyard Hotels. Go Courtyard (link - rss) features lots of videos showing the design upgrades in action at a hotel in Virginia and a blog written by Brian King. Brian is the Global Brand Manager for Courtyard Hotels.

I used to get most of my news on Marriott from press releases and news items captured from around the web. That’s all changed now that Marriott is publishing via these new media channels.
