    Marriott International, Inc. (MAR) is an American diversified hospitality company that manages and franchises a broad portfolio of hotels and related lodging facilities. Founded by J. Willard Marriott, the company is now led by his son, Executive Chairman Bill Marriott and President and Chief Executive Officer Arne Sorenson.

    Marriott International, headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, has more than 4,087 properties in over 80 countries and territories around the world, over 697,000 rooms (as of July 2014), and additional 195,000 rooms in the development pipeline.

    In June 2014, Marriott International opened their 4,000th hotel, the Marriott Marquis in Washington, D.C. In 2011, Marriott opened the tallest hotel of the world, The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, located at the International Commerce Centre.

    Marriott, Starwood Hotels stockholders approve deal

    Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc (HOT) and Marriott International Inc (MAR) said on Friday the stockholders of the companies voted to approve Marriott's acquisition of Starwood to create the world's largest hotel company.

    Holders of more than 97 percent of Marriott shares and over 95 percent of Starwood shares voted in favor of the cash-and-stock deal, which was valued at $12.41 billion as of Thursday.

    China's Anbang Insurance Group Co last week abandoned its $14 billion offer for Starwood Hotels, clearing the way for Marriott to buy the owner of Sheraton and Westin hotel brands.

    Marriott raised the cash portion of its offer to $21 per share on March 21 from $2 per share, valuing the total bid at $73.42 per share as of Thursday.

    Marriott said the deal was on track to close mid-2016.

    "Our teams continue to plan the integration of our two companies," Marriott Chief Executive Arne Sorenson said.

    The deal has cleared the pre-merger antitrust review in the United States and Canada and awaits approvals in the European Union and China.

    Not sure if anyone else notices this, but MAR analysts have been underestimating earnings due to management guidance for many quarters.
