In order to pass the approval process, every home is evaluated in person or digitally to ensure it meets the brand’s high standards. Property managers will also have to maintain a higher level of service in accordance with the brand’s guidelines.

Guests who book with Homes & Villas by Marriott International can choose from a wide selection of unique private homes. According to their FAQ page, the channel offers everything from:

“Beachfront bungalows, sprawling villas, grand chateaus, cozy cabins, ski chalets, and characterful townhouses, flats, apartments, and penthouses. We have castles, too!”

From hidden gems in undiscovered locations to city center penthouses with spectacular views, there’s something to cater to all tastes. Every property is bursting with original character and offers a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable experience to the discerning traveler.

How does it work?

The company works with national, regional, and market-specific property management companies in hundreds of destinations around the world.
