Does the Marriott REIT actually own its properties or lease on long-time lines like WeWork?

The Marriott REIT is Host Hotels which is the owner of the physical properties. It does own all its hotels and Marriott leases them. Its a symbiotic relationship.

The analogy would be: Marriott is to Host Hotels as WeWork is to multiple office property owners

So that's a stark contrast. Host Hotels (Marriott) is sitting on an appreciable asset while WeWork has off-balance sheet operating leases.
