Marriott doesn't own their hotels, they lease them from third party owners. I would wager that Hilton is doing the same.

I dont know about the Marriott family of brands specifically but I would image like most large companies in this sector they have a Mix of Franchisees and Direct owned properties.

Hilton Certainly does under several of its brands.

This Franchise model does not change my statement really at all, as it is far different model than what airbnb has

Do they lease them? I got the impression that it’s closer to a franchise model (for all major chains)

Does leasing change the fact that you still need to maintain the property and pay the lease?
