No, Hilton is not part of Marriott. Hilton Worldwide and Marriott International are two different companies that operate two of the largest hotel portfolios in the world. Hilton hotels are not part of the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, either.
Hilton has 18 hotel brands covering 6,000 properties in 117 countries. Hilton’s portfolio includes deluxe hotels like Conrad Hotels & Resorts and well-known, budget-friendly options such as Hilton Garden Inn and Hampton Inn.
Marriott International offers 30 hotel brands, which include more than 7,200 properties in over 130 countries and territories. Marriott’s portfolio ranges from well-known luxury brands like Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott to more affordable options like Courtyard by Marriott.
Hilton and Marriott both have their own loyalty programs— Hilton Honors and Marriott Bonvoy—that offer members a wide range of perks. Loyalty program members typically earn points by booking a stay in an affiliated hotel or resort, but you can earn points in many different ways, including by using co-branded credit cards or hosting meetings and events at hotel properties. Members can then redeem those points for free stays or a variety of other options, such as airline miles, rental cars and travel packages.
Both programs also feature co-branded credit cards that allow cardholders to earn even more rewards points and access additional perks. Notable examples include the Hilton Honors American Express Card and the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card.
