I posted a list on the Loyalty Traveler blog of current Marriott Rewards hotel category distribution and category changes from March 8, 2010.
I plan to use the Marriott category changes on my blog this week to highlight some hotel loyalty program comparisons between Marriott, Hilton, Starwood, Hyatt, and IHG and point out some industry trends.
Bottom line is Marriott still maintains one of the best hotel category distributions among the loyalty programs with the majority of hotels in the lower categories of 1, 2, and 3 and a large proportion of upper upscale hotels in category 5 and 6 with category 7 and 8 limited to select highly popular hotels and locations.
