Who runs this hotel?

Three different companies can sit behind one hotel. How this works

OperatorThe company responsible for the hotel's day-to-day operations — hiring and training staff, service, food and beverage, housekeeping and revenue management. It can be different from both the owner and the brand.
Marriott International
BrandThe name on the door. The brand company sets standards and supplies the reservation system and loyalty programme — but it does not always run the hotel itself.
The Ritz-Carlton · Marriott International
OwnerThe company that owns the building as a real-estate asset. Owners are often property developers, REITs or investment funds, and they may have no role in daily operations.
