Homes & Villas by Marriott: Some History
Marriott International stepped into the vacation rental market in 2019 to address a gap in the industry—the lack of a trusted, high-quality brand synonymous with exceptional service.
The vacation rental industry’s growth in recent years was driven by travelers’ desire for more space, privacy, and unique experiences. However, quality control and brand assurance were lacking, leading to inconsistent guest experiences.
Marriott’s research revealed that 27% of Marriott Bonvoy loyalty members had used home rentals in the previous year. The significant market demand, coupled with the opportunity to address the industry’s challenges, prompted Marriott to launch Homes & Villas by Marriott International.
The Curated Approach
Unlike traditional vacation rental platforms that offer an array of properties, Homes & Villas by Marriott focuses on premium and luxury homes managed by professional property management companies. Marriott’s strategy ensures that every home listed on the platform meets stringent standards for design, cleanliness, safety, and amenities.
Marriott works with a select group of professional management companies to focus on homes in inspiring destinations while establishing standards for a seamless booking experience and responsive service.
Exceptional Homes, Unparalleled Service
The Homes & Villas by Marriott portfolio ranges from cozy cottages to sprawling villas, each offering a unique and unforgettable experience. Marriott guarantees that Homes & Villas’ level of service is similar to what the brand’s renowned hotels provide. Each home is professionally cleaned and maintained, with 24/7 on-call support and high-speed Wi-Fi. Guests enjoy premium linens, family-friendly amenities, and access to Marriott’s renowned loyalty program, Marriott Bonvoy.
Expanding Horizons
Since Homes & Villas by Marriott‘s launch in 2019, the platform’s inventory has expanded to over 20,000 homes in 240 destinations worldwide.
Travis Riner, Senior Director of Homes & Villas by Marriott International says, “Some of the property management companies Marriott works with are reporting that Homes & Villas by Marriott is a top-three distribution channel for their homes less than two years after the launch.”
Embracing Innovation and Guest Feedback
Homes & Villas by Marriott is committed to innovation and adapts to guest feedback. During the pandemic, Marriott introduced features such as a “Near Me” search functionality, which curates homes within a 600-mile radius of the user’s location.
Marriott closely monitors guest reviews and feedback, too. “We read every comment and react to each customer’s feedback appropriately,” said Riner. “We have learned quite a bit about customers’ needs and wants over the past two years and have adapted accordingly.”
A Bright Future Ahead
Marriott plans to expand Homes & Villas by Marriott by entering new regions, including Asia, and adding more inventory in popular destinations, such as Florida, California, Italy, and Mexico.
At the same time, Marriott is exploring ways to enhance the digital experience for property managers, making platform listing easier and faster.
