Brand Positioning
Inspiring Performance: The Marriott guest wants to stay at a performance brand – one that delivers on the details, is made for winners and thinks differently. MHR is the only brand designed to ensure guests accomplish as much as possible during their stay. In everything the brand does, in every way it can fathom, it is constantly working to “inspire performance”.
Target Customer
The 24/7 Achiever: Serious about their work and are high energy performers. Highly motivated in both business and personal life; are straightforward optimistic and take care of challenges with a can-do attitude; when they travel for work they are intensely focused on the job – they work hard to be prepared. • Genuine Care • Engineered for Success • Recharge • Modern Classic
Stay Interesting: To the Renaissance guest, there is always time to play, even when traveling for business. RHR is the only quality tier life-style brand designed as a place to return at day’s end to “chill”, engage others and experience the micro-local scene. These guests want to enjoy access to new experiences inside and outside the hotel, always moving and discovering, so they “stay interesting”. The Discoverer: Intellectually curious, always looking for something different and new. Serious about both business and pleasure; view business travel as an opportunity to work and collect interesting stories. They have a need for rich experiences and to connect with people that “get it”. • On/Off Stage • Provocative • Savvy Service • Local Treasures
Luxury Performance: To the JW guest, JW Marriott is the place where they can concentrate only on what is essential – that is, the harmony of a client relationship, the pleasure of everyday living, the touch of materials, or the subtlety of scents. The hotel is highly sophisticated so that it disappears, leaving nothing but its enabling aspects to keep the Accomplished Achiever’s life as fluid and streamlined as when at home. The Accomplished Achiever: Negotiating deals, cultivating clients, focusing on the big picture is the essence of my job and THE reason I travel for business. Maintaining a balanced, healthy lifestyle is central to my daily routine. I need a hotel that enables me to advance on both dimensions and compromise neither when traveling. • Seamless • Invisible • Purposeful • Authentic • Crafted • Connoisseur Service • Connoisseur Experiences • Eliminate Distractions and Clutter • Be Purposeful, Authentic and Private • Vibrant Health TBD
