Over the last handful of years, major hotel companies have been launching new brands left and right in attempts to expand offerings for travelers.
Earlier this year, we learned about Series by Marriott, described as a way to "bring strong, regionally relevant brands and hotels into the Marriott portfolio," according to Marriott's development website. It's touted as a way for midscale and upscale hotels with an independent spirit to get a slice of the Marriott Bonvoy pie — and to gain access to the company's hundreds of millions of loyalty members.
Like Marriott's Autograph Collection and Luxury Collection, Series by Marriott is a collection brand, meaning it might include a relatively small group of independent hotels with a local focus, or often a boutique vibe.
