My guess is their contract with Marriott is going to be over sometime soon and they’re getting ready to go solo.
The two Prince hotels in Japan that are part of Marriott also facilitate their own reservations. The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo even uses the same booking platform as the Westin Grand Berlin.
