In practice, these hotels usually carry the highest ADR in the portfolio, which means they can hold stronger room rates when demand is firm and compress less when the market softens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Marriott International, Inc., premium pricing matters because it protects margin in high-demand markets such as major U.S. cities, gateway international cities, and resort destinations. When inventory is limited and events or peak travel periods lift demand, luxury hotels can reprice faster than lower-tier hotels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADR and RevPAR-led pricing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADR\u003c\/strong\u003e means average daily rate, or the average room price paid per occupied room night. \u003cstrong\u003eRevPAR\u003c\/strong\u003e means revenue per available room, which combines room rate and occupancy.

Extended-stay pricing usually lowers the effective nightly rate as the stay gets longer, because the guest is booking more nights and the hotel is trading a lower daily rate for higher occupancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese tiers matter because they change how Marriott International, Inc. captures revenue. All-inclusive packages can raise spend per stay, while extended-stay products can improve occupancy and reduce turnover costs. Both formats let the company serve travelers who want price certainty rather than an open-ended room-only bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResort-fee transparency scrutiny\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMandatory resort fees can change the final stay cost even when the headline room rate looks lower.
