The move makes Marriott the largest hotel chain in the world with 1.1 million properties, which means the odds of you staying at a Marriott hotel on your next vacation are one in fifteen.

However, don't expect all Marriott hotels to now look and feel the same.

Marriott CEO said in a statement, "we're trying to make sure we provide as clear a distinction as we can between the brands in terms of product and service so that our customers can have a sense of what each brand stands for."
