Marriott Hotels Unveils New Meetings Program

Wednesday, Marriott Hotels introduced Meetings Imagined, which it said is a new concept of how meetings are planned. Core to the new program is MeetingsImagined.com, a Web site that enables customers to examine meetings tips and trends.

The site also helps meeting planners to assess icebreakers, food and music, among other things. Planners are also able to customize food and beverage, setup, technology and experiences based on the goals of the meeting.

Five U.S. Marriott Hotels are testing Meetings Imagined. Properties include the Chicago Marriott O’Hare, Tysons Corner Marriott, Gaithersburg Marriott Washingtonian Center, Orlando World Center Marriott and the Atlanta Marriott Marquis.

Across the pond, it’s also being tested at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square, Paris Marriott Rive Gauche, Munich Marriott Hotel and the Amsterdam Marriott Hotel.

Marriott said the program will expand to more properties this year.
