"Compelling" case for Marriott buying its UK rival InterContinental

Here is the press story from the 29 May 2012 Financial Times.

Interesting idea--as Marriott Rewards loyalists, we would have vastly more mediocre properties to stay at.

And integrating MR with Priority Club could see Marriott adopt PC's "no free breakfast" policy beyond all resorts and CYs ie abolish free breakfast for all top tier elites as part of a "best practices" consolidation.
