Club Marquis Wins an Elite Category With Only Three Entrants

Best Elite Program — Hotels, Americas · Marriott Honored Guest Awards — Club Marquis

Best Elite Level Program for a hotel goes to Marriott's Club Marquis.

Marriott kept sweeping categories all night, but this one faced its closest competition — from Hyatt's elite program.

Worth remembering the field: in 1989 only Marriott, Hyatt and Westin offered elite status at all. Hotel elite recognition was a three-program idea, and members preferred Marriott's version of it.
