The one thing that is interesting to consider - an enormous amount of time and thought was put into developping the brand. I can't imagine they haven't deployed the same amount of consideration to renewing the brand today.
Until they add brekkie to the bennies you get at CY for elites, my guess is they can renew the brand all they want but elites will either look to other Marriott brands or hoof it over to HGI. That's fine. Their choice, just as it's elites choice.

Just seems strange that other than Ritzs & resorts - which are not the same branding - CY is the only Marriott brand not to offer brekkie.

What I'd like to see from the branding is WHY that is.

Cheers.
