Marriott has about 8x revenue and 2x the market cap as IHG. I think IHG would be a perfect sized candidate for MAR to take over if the efficiencies created in a merger were worthwhile.
When I spoke about size I was speaking in terms of distribution and the location of that distribution (and then the headache of doing public deals)....too much overlap and brands in the wrong segments for Marriott
