Marriott International and The Coca-Cola Company have
entered into a global strategic beverage agreement that will introduce
Coca-Cola's portfolio of brands across Marriott hotels worldwide. The
partnership is designed to broaden beverage choice for guests while enhancing
the overall hospitality experience throughout the company's global portfolio.
The phased rollout begins immediately and will
continue over the coming months, bringing Coca-Cola products to guestrooms,
restaurants, lounges, meeting facilities and event spaces across Marriott's
network of hotels.
Expanded beverage offering across multiple categories
Under the agreement, The Coca-Cola Company becomes
Marriott's global beverage partner across several product categories, including
carbonated soft drinks as well as an expanding range of hydration and
functional beverages.
The collaboration aims to provide guests with a wider
selection of beverages throughout every stage of their stay, whether dining in
hotel restaurants, relaxing in lounges or attending meetings and events.
"This agreement brings together two iconic brands
with a shared commitment to quality, consistency, and creating memorable
experiences," said Anthony Capuano, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Marriott International. "We are focused on delivering the products our
guests and Marriott Bonvoy Members know and love, better meeting guest
preferences, and creating economic benefits for owners and franchise operators
across our system. We're excited to collaborate with The Coca-Cola Company to
deliver their great products in more places."
Henrique Braun, Chief Executive Officer of The
Coca-Cola Company, added: "This is a great day. On behalf of the entire
Coca-Cola system, we're excited about our future with Marriott and the
opportunity to provide travelers more of the brands they love. From sparkling
beverages to juices, hydration and dairy, we're offering guests options for
their beverage needs throughout their entire visit."
Collaboration supports owners and operators
According to the companies, the agreement was
developed in partnership with Hot Shoppe Services International, Marriott's
global procurement organisation. By leveraging its purchasing scale and
supplier network, the collaboration is intended to create operational value for
hotel owners and franchise operators while ensuring consistent beverage
offerings across Marriott's worldwide portfolio.
The new partnership further expands Marriott's guest
experience by integrating Coca-Cola's beverage brands across multiple
touchpoints, reinforcing both companies' focus on quality, consistency and
customer choice.
