Update 5/18/21: VFTW points out that 15 properties also increased in price that weren’t included in the list. 4 changed before the lists publication and another 11 changed after the lists publication. Good to see Marriott being transparent as normal (/s).
Marriott has announced what hotels are changing categories for 2021. The new pricing will go into effect on March 3, 2021. Unlike previous years were almost one third of properties changed categories, this year only 201 properties are changing category with the majority decreasing in price.
- 51 will increase in price
- 150 will decrease in price
Not a huge surprise given COVID-19 and low occupancy rates. Marriott has been offering frequent ‘all properties at off peak rate sales’, but realistically most properties should have off peak pricing if the program works as advertised due to the low occupancy rates.
