Built on values of purpose, humility, and care for others, is a time to honor the enduring influence of father figures in our lives—including our co-founder, J. Willard Marriott. From his early days farming and sheep herding to building a global hospitality company grounded in service, he believed in the value of meaningful work and making every day count.
Outside of work, he found renewal in nature—often on horseback—where time with family and moments of reflection came naturally together.
Today, his values continue to guide JW Marriott as we honor the restorative power of nature, the value of intentional presence, and the steady strength and guidance of fathers.
