Marriott Hotels & Resorts is Marriott International's flagship brand of full service hotels and resorts.

As of December 2005, there were 482 hotels and resorts operating under the brand.

The newest resort is Red Leaves - Lake Rosseau Muskoka in Ontario's cottage country.

During America's Bicentential in 1976, Marriott opened two identical amusement parks in Santa Clara, California and Gurnee, Illinois. The California park is now owned by Paramount Parks. The Illinois park is now owned by Six Flags. There are some obvious visuals still remaining at both parks regarding their days as Marriott parks. The original theme was American patriotism. The imagery of "Old Glory" and other American icons still are displayed in some architecture. Both parks boast one double-decker merry-go-round each. The California park dismantled its "Triple Wheel" ferris wheel.
