History
In 1927, J. Willard Marriott marries Alice Sheets in Salt Lake City, UT, and moves to Washington DC with his new bride. That spring, J. Willard and Alice open a nine-stool A&W Root Beer stand, which they later call "The Hot Shoppe."
The Hot Shoppe would expand with more locations and began offering catering services to airlines in 1937 and landed a food-services contract in 1939 with the U.S. Treasury.
With the restaurant business growing, the company went public in 1953.
In 1957, Marriott opened its first hotel, The Twin Bridges Motor Hotel, in Arlington, VA.
By 1967, the company name was changed to Marriott Corporation from Hot Shoppes Inc.
In 1993, the company splits its hotel and real estate/food businesses into Marriott International and Host Marriott Corporation.
