Is Marriott owned by Mormons

Answer 1

The Marriott Hotel chain is not affiliated with the church itself, but it is owned by the Marriott family, who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church.)

Answer 2

The Marriott Corporation split into Marriott International Corporation and Host Marriot corporation in 1993. Both corporations are public companies owned by shareholders. They cannot be endowed to the Mormon church. While the Marriott family continues to be involved with the company, operations are increasingly being turned over to non-family employees.

Answer 3

Marriott hotels was started by a Mormon family and many of those family members still serve on the board and as executives, however the hotel chain is not owned by the Marriott family as it is a publically traded company owned by shareholders. In honor of the founding family's religion, many Marriott locations keep a Book of Mormon next to the Gideon's Bible in the nightstand drawer and have committed to not offering pornographic pay-per-view channels in their hotel rooms. However, most locations also offer coffee and Alcoholic Beverages, which is against Mormon beliefs.
