I can't speak entirely to their relative footprints, but at some point anticompetitive concerns are going to pop up somewhere. Canada and the EU seem like candidates for such objections (for varying reasons). So even if this were to happen, I suspect you'd see some significant divestments as a result given Marriott's size as-is (the relevant comparison being airline mergers at this point).
