Marriott’s 400,000 North American rooms going smoke-free

The latest hotel chain to go smokeless: Marriott.

The company announced its properties in the US and Canada will become 100% smoke free starting in September.

The move was the largest of any smoke-free chain. Marriott has nearly 2,300 hotels and 400,000 guest rooms.

Currently, more than 90% of Marriott’s guest rooms are already non-smoking.

Marriott said it expected “very positive customer feedback” from the move.
