EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT to bring wine into a hotel, which includes the exec lounge. If you get so drunk that they think you may be a danger to yourself or others, or are disturbing others, they would ask you to leave. Although the same is true if you are buying their wine.
To think otherwise is ridiculous. Start making some calls and emails and find one Marriott affiliated property that says you are forbidden from bringing wine into their hotel, or its lounge. You won't find one, but good luck trying.
Not a single word of it was misinformation. When you refer to "establishments" and some website, you're not talking about hotels. This thread is about exec lounges of hotels and hotels so see above, and previous post for all correct information.
You must not have read what I wrote. You have conflagrated the posts in this thread which deal with the possibility that some properties' liquor licenses may prohibit outside booze (corkage) with possible prohibitions against bringing food and beverage into rooms (typically reserved for higher end resorts).
When you do read the posts, you may want to edit out the word "absurd" or accept that it is absurd but true.
