Marriott International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR) announced a new program to work anywhere with Marriott Bonvoy that meets consumers where they are in their lives – juggling working and schooling from home and seeking a little inspiration to break-up the monotony. Marriott Bonvoy’s new Day Pass, Stay Pass and Play Pass packages were designed as flexible options whether guests are seeking a one day stay from early morning into the evening, extended overnight stay with early morning check in and evening checkout or a multi-day work and leisure destination getaway.
“Working remotely doesn’t necessarily have to mean working from home, where blurred lines between personal and professional lives can create distractions and stress,” said Stephanie Linnartz, Group President – Consumer Operations, Technology & Emerging Businesses, Marriott International. “We are inviting guests to work anywhere with Marriott Bonvoy to help them be more productive and achieve a better work/life balance by reimagining our hotel rooms as local remote workspaces for our customers. By providing flexible booking options, our loyalty members and guests have a familiar alternative when choosing where to work.”
When asked, 42 percent of more than 400 business professionals – Marriott Bonvoy members and non-members – in the U.S. who participate in the company’s research community indicated they would consider working from a hotel guest room to address their current realities which include: - Desire to break up the day-to-day monotony.
- Not having a dedicated workspace environment and feeling claustrophobic in small apartments.
- No boundary between work and personal life, especially for families managing remote learning for kids.
- Inability to focus and work uninterrupted on important presentations, projects and meetings.
- Competing for insufficient Wi-Fi.
“Our hotels and our internal teams are engaging and listening to our communities daily to understand how we can best meet their needs locally and globally based on the continuously evolving changes to employer, school and local mandates and regulations. We believe this continuous evolution and innovation with our corporate clients and consumers will help drive the future of Marriott’s offerings,” added Linnartz.
