Broad incumbents

• Marriott International: Global lodging franchisor and operator whose Luxury Collection brand NWH franchises under. Larger incumbent that competes for third-party management contracts but also serves as a critical brand partner; relevant for benchmarking and franchise economics.
• Hyatt Hotels Corporation: Global hotel brand and operator that could compete for or partner with NWH-managed assets. Relevant incumbent given NWH's positioning at the luxury and lifestyle tier where Hyatt's brands (Park Hyatt, Thompson, Andaz) overlap.
