fantastic news for the conference business and for the tourism
industry in Scotland. »

Marriott to change 628,000 Beds worldwide in 2005
Marriott is Creating More Luxurious Bedding With Plusher
Mattresses, Softer Sheets, More Pillows, and a New, Fresh,
White Look:
Marriott International, Inc. announced that by year-end,
628,000 beds at approximately 2,400 hotels worldwide, across
eight brands, will have a new, more luxurious look and feel.
The global bedding makeover will utilize over 30 million
yards of fabric - enough to stretch more than two-thirds
of the way around the world - creating softer sheets,
plusher mattresses, stylish duvets, more pillows -
and a new fresh, white look.
J.W. Marriott, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer
of Marriott International, said, “Together with our
hotel owners and franchisees, we are launching an unprecedented
bedding makeover, continuing our invitation to guests to
experience the new look and feel of Marriott. This initiative
draws on the finest designs and service traditions at our
best hotels worldwide to position each of our brands as
the most luxurious in their segment. And our new bedding
is already getting rave reviews.”
The company said its owners and franchisees are investing
nearly $190 million in the new bedding. And, to speed the
makeover, Marriott is offering owners and franchisees a
one-time incentive, to ensure that guests can enjoy the
comfort and luxury of the new bedding by year-end.
The company conducted extensive consumer research on the
new bedding for all its brands. More than four out of five
of the 1,000 guests surveyed preferred the new bedding and
said they liked the stylish design and appearance, calling
it fresh, inviting and comfortable. They also said the new
bedding would increase their preference for a Marriott brand.
The more luxurious bedding is the new brand standard for
the JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Marriott Hotels &
Resorts, Renaissance Hotels & Resorts, Courtyard, Residence
Inn, Fairfield Inn, TownePlace Suites and SpringHill Suites
brands. As part of the makeover, the company is replacing
traditional bedspreads with freshly laundered linens, making
Marriott’s new bedding the cleanest and freshest of
any major hotel chain.
