Marriott International Introduces MARRIOTT MEDIA, a New Media Network Shaped for the Traveler
MARRIOTT MEDIA is a media network shaped for the traveler. Different from traditional media networks, MARRIOTT MEDIA puts the customer and the travel journey at the center – connecting relevant brands with customers at the right time, across digital and physical touchpoints, and with a contextually relevant message.
By using first-party data and 200+ targetable attributes across the nearly 237-million member Marriott Bonvoy program and from Marriott's lodging portfolio comprised of nearly 9,500 properties globally, MARRIOTT MEDIA helps enable targeting by combining demographic information with guest behavior, travel intent, and traveler passions. Thoughtful design of messaging and creative, coupled with targeted audience selection and robust measurement capability across the marketing funnel, will offer marketers campaign performance with closed loop attribution. Guest data is used responsibly and in accordance with all applicable regulations. The platform is consent-based, with easy opt-out options for guests, providing transparency and trust.
Today's travelers expect personalization and welcome thoughtful discovery. MARRIOTT MEDIA is designed to enrich, not interrupt, serving guests content, recommendations, and offers in ways that feel natural, relevant, and aligned with their travel experience. I'm excited to announce Chris Norton, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Data Activation & Personalization, will lead this bold initiative and serve as the General Manager for MARRIOTT MEDIA. Peggy Roe, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at Marriott International
Norton added: Our goal is to offer select brand partners the opportunity to create deeper engagement with customers through the lens of travel and our brands. Through sophisticated measurement, including brand lift and awareness studies, attributable conversions, and advanced modeling, we empower our brand partners to align their campaigns with our travelers, ensuring meaningful engagement at every touchpoint .
Working with select brands, MARRIOTT MEDIA will curate brand experiences across Marriott-owned digital platforms such as Marriott.com and the Marriott Bonvoy app, placement within the room and stay experience, third-party websites, and social platforms. MARRIOTT MEDIA collaborated with select brands for an initial pilot including PepsiCo., Visa, United Airlines, Uber, Starbucks, F1® THE MOVIE, Audible, American Express and Resy.
The ability to engage with travelers on a connected journey through digital and physical touchpoints and its seamless integration model sets the network apart. MARRIOTT MEDIA bridges advertiser content and native Marriott content, making it possible for brand messaging to engage guests in high-trust, high-attention spaces, from curated pre-arrival recommendations to bespoke in-room experiences and post-stay reengagement. This media model allows marketers to move fluidly with customers at points in the journey when they are most interested in relevant content and new discovery, serving not only impressions but compelling offers and memorable touchpoints.
One of MARRIOTT MEDIA's most compelling placements is alongside Marriott Bonvoy's original content shown on Marriott Bonvoy TV. Doubling down on the power of storytelling, this longer form placement gives brands a unique opportunity to connect, through narrative that engages travelers with in-room content throughout their stay. With a portfolio of more than 30 hotel brands that is loved by many of the most loyal and highest-spending travelers in the world, MARRIOTT MEDIA offers marketers access to travelers who stay longer, spend more, and are deeply engaged with the brands they trust. For media buyers and brand strategists, hospitality media is no longer an ancillary channel, it's poised to become a growth engine.
With plans to scale the network into global markets, MARRIOTT MEDIA's emphasis on authenticity will remain a key differentiator. Experiences will be localized, cultural context will be prioritized, and brand safety will be implemented, by design, as branded content is curated for the Marriott traveler journey.

The Surrey, a Corinthia Hotel Unveils Opulent Signature Suites Inspired by the Grandeur of Central Park and Upper East Side Elegance
The Upper East Side's newest luxury destination, The Surrey, A Corinthia Hotel, is proud to introduce a collection of signature suites that seamlessly blend New York's storied elegance with the refinement of residential-style living. Designed by renowned interior designer Martin Brudnizki of MBDS, the four newly launched suites - The Pine Bank Bridge Suite, Bethesda Grandeur Suite, Greywacke Heritage Suite, and The Surrey Suite - pay homage to the architectural beauty of Central Park's most iconic bridges. The Surrey's signature suites embody the enduring spirit of quiet luxury synonymous with the property's legacy. Just steps from Madison Avenue's renowned boutiques, the cultural institutions of Museum Mile, and the tranquil expanse of Central Park, the suites serve as an elegant retreat from the city's energy; while speaking to the rich tapestry of the neighborhood they call home. Their design, complete with refined architectural details and thoughtfully curated furnishings, creates an atmosphere where heritage and modernity coexist in perfect harmony. Each suite embodies the spirit of its namesake landmark, incorporating bespoke details that echo each bridge's intricate ironwork, stone carvings, and timeless charm. From sculpted crown moldings to opulent finishes and furnishings, these thoughtfully designed spaces immerse guests in a world where heritage meets modern sophistication. By weaving in subtle nods to the surrounding bridges of Central Park, the suites create a seamless connection between the timeless beauty of their interiors and the prestigious locale that defines The Surrey experience. The hotel has collaborated with the expert team at Paris-based VISTO Gallery to curate an art collection across the property, with the suites serving as no exception. Each is complete with an array of artworks that represent different artists who have had an impact on New York's artistic landscape. Spanning 1,200 to 1,300 square feet, the Bethesda Grandeur, Pine Bank Bridge, and Greywacke Heritage Suites offer expansive one-bedroom accommodation, complete with king-size beds draped in sumptuous linens, elegant living areas, and ensuite bathrooms featuring deep soaking bathtubs and double vanities. For the ultimate indulgence, the 2,130-square-foot, two-bedroom Surrey Suite - inspired by Central Park's Bow Bridge - presents an unparalleled sanctuary of timeless beauty and contemporary luxury. All signature suites include well-appointed desks and exclusive Antica Farmacista bath amenities, alongside a host of thoughtful touches designed to elevate every stay. Guests enjoy complimentary in-suite snacks and soft drinks, priority access to The Surrey's house car, and dedicated tables held nightly at Casa Tua. Additional benefits include complimentary pressing, packing services, and a curated Casa Tua Sommelier experience. For wellness-minded travelers, an enhanced bathing ritual in partnership with Sisley Paris and exclusive access to The Surrey Spa - including a 60-minute treatment for two and complimentary use of the salt room - offer restorative indulgence. Throughout the year, surprise-and-delight amenities inspired by the seasons of Central Park add a whimsical, deeply local layer to the guest experience. Bethesda Grandeur Suite A masterclass in quiet luxury, the Bethesda Grandeur Suite blends timeless Upper East Side elegance with rich, residential detail. Warm-toned silk wallcoverings by Phillip Jeffries, trimmed with Samuel & Sons, and Lee Jofa, pair with tailored drapery from Colefax and Fowler and Rubelli. A Garrison Rousseau shagreen desk anchors the space, complemented by lighting from Soane and Vaughan. The suite's art collection includes works by Helen Frankenthaler (Tales of Genji), Richard Lindner (Der Rosenkavalier), and Kelly Beeman, alongside abstract pieces by Holly Addi and Kazaan Viveiros - a curated mix that reflects both legacy and contemporary influence. Calacatta Lincoln marble in the primary bath and vintage marble sinks in the powder room complete this sophisticated retreat. Pine Bank Bridge Suite A richly atmospheric space, the Pine Bank Bridge Suite draws inspiration from the ornamental elegance of its namesake bridge, layering floral motifs and artisanal craftsmanship. Drapery by Nobilis and The Sign, all lined in James Hare, frames expansive windows in both bedroom and salon. The lighting design features Visual Comfort wall and bath sconces, offering a soft glow that enhances the palette of deep neutrals and foliage-inspired hues. A warm timber writing desk anchors the living space, while silk wallcoverings and intricate trims add texture and depth. The suite includes pieces sourced to reflect the bridge's filigree ironwork and historic charm. In the bathroom, Calacatta Oro marble and Visual Comfort sconces continue the narrative of effortless sophistication. Greywacke Heritage Suite Geometric and grounded, the Greywacke Heritage Suite is defined by strong architectural lines and a curated sense of history. Parchment-finished furnishings by Garrison Rousseau pair with Phillip Jeffries wallcoverings and Nobilis drapery. Anchoring the suite's art story are a signed lithograph by Richard Lindner (Lollipop), screenprints by Kazaan Viveiros, and a minimalist piece by muralist Tony Sjöman (Rubin). Contemporary works by Karli Henneman, Arlina Cai, and Helen Frankenthaler round out the thoughtful curation. The primary bath features Calacatta Lincoln marble, reinforcing the suite's refined sensibility. The Surrey Suite The crown jewel of The Surrey, this expansive two-bedroom suite blends discreet opulence with residential grandeur. Inspired by the gentle arches of Bow Bridge, the design integrates softened geometry, graceful curvature, and luminous materials to create a sense of timeless romance. Bedrooms feature silk wallcoverings by Phillip Jeffries, trimmed with Samuel & Sons and Lee Jofa, while drapery by Colefax and Fowler and Jim Thompson lends a formal yet relaxed elegance. The concealed study, hidden behind a seamless paneled door, was designed as a quiet discovery - a secret chamber that transforms a stately corridor into something unexpectedly personal. A Garrison Rousseau desk in calfskin and timber, custom furnishings, and hand-applied finishes add layers of artisanal richness. The dual primary bathrooms are appointed with Calacatta Oro and Calacatta Lincoln marble, double vanities, soaking tubs, and expansive walk-in rain showers. In the dressing room, walls are drenched in Sherwin-Williams' "Rainwashed" lacquer - a serene, watery hue that softens the space. Throughout, Vaughan sconces and Visual Comfort lighting complete the mood. This suite is not only a statement in design, but a sanctuary of refinement and calm. The suite's museum-worthy art program features Jasper Johns (Cups 2 Picasso), Helen Frankenthaler, Milton Hebald, and Elizabeth Gregory-Gruen, along with works by Bruce Porter, Mori Shizume, and Arlina Cai. Officially opened in late October 2024, The Surrey marks Corinthia Hotels' first property in North America. Set within a 16-story building owned by the Reuben Brothers, global leaders in real estate development and private equity, the hotel features striking interiors by Martin Brudnizki of MBDS. Prior to opening under the Corinthia flag, the property underwent a full transformation to include 70 guest rooms, 30 suites, and 14 private residences. It is also home to the first New York outpost of beloved eatery Casa Tua and the tranquil Surrey Spa, featuring treatments by Sisley Paris. With this stunning new collection of suites, The Surrey, A Corinthia Hotel, reinforces its place as an icon of bespoke luxury and quintessential New York sophistication.

Already introduced at three operating hotels – Dusit Hotel Doha, Qatar; Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa, Hanoi, Vietnam; and Dusit Hotel AG Park, Chengdu, China – with another distinctive property, Dusit Hotel Greenhills, Manila, Philippines, signed and set to open in 2026, the new brand has already marked its presence in key markets across Asia and the Middle East, laying a strong foundation for future growth. Created in response to the growing demand from hotel owners and developers for distinctive properties that combine international standards with a strong sense of local identity, Dusit Hotels is positioned to deliver memorable guest experiences rooted in the unique cultural and physical context of each destination – all underpinned by Dusit's signature Thai-inspired gracious hospitality. Defined by a timeless, warm, and welcoming aesthetic, and guided by the tagline 'Distinctly Elevated, Perfected by Place,' Dusit Hotels are crafted with the soul of each location in mind and designed to offer superior levels of comfort for business and leisure travellers of all generations.

Located by Hanoi's West Lake, the 207-key Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa, Hanoi blends Thai-inspired gracious service with Vietnamese heritage, drawing inspiration from the legacy of Princess Từ Hoa, who famously left the royal court to teach silk weaving to the local people, to offer a unique cultural connection through its design, storytelling, and curated dining experiences.
