Element Hotels

What Element Hotels does

Element Hotels is an extended-stay hotel brand owned by Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE: MAR), founded in 2008 under Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide and acquired by Marriott in 2016 as part of the Starwood acquisition. The brand is positioned within Marriott's "Longer Stays" portfolio alongside Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, StudioRes, and Marriott Executive Apartments, and operates under the DBA names "Element Hotels" and "Element by Marriott." Element targets business travelers on multi-week assignments, convention and event attendees, and wellness-oriented leisure guests, with a brand identity built around a nature-inspired design philosophy, in-room kitchens, the signature Westin Heavenly Bed, spa-inspired bathrooms, and sustainability features such as EV charging stations, low-flow fixtures, and a complimentary Bikes to Borrow program in partnership with Priority Bicycles. The brand has introduced StudioCommons, a multifunctional room concept intended for guests traveling with family or colleagues during extended stays.

The business operates more than 100 properties across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Australia, the Middle East, and Africa, with a recently opened 441-room dual-branded property at Las Vegas Symphony Park (October 2025) operated in partnership with Jackson-Shaw. Distribution is fully embedded in Marriott's ecosystem: direct bookings via element-hotels.marriott.com and Marriott.com, the Bonvoy mobile app, GDS connectivity for corporate travel management, and OTAs. Revenue is generated primarily through dynamic, location- and demand-based room rates with extended-stay discounts, supplemented by F&B, meeting space (notably at convention-focused properties), and ancillary amenity revenue. Marriott does not disclose Element-specific revenue, treating the brand as an undifferentiated component of its consolidated hospitality portfolio.

• Candlewood Suites: IHG's mid-scale extended-stay brand with kitchen-equipped studios; competes with Element on price-sensitive long-stay segments where Element's premium amenities may not justify the rate premium.
