Marriott Hotels has announced a partnership with thought leadership non-profit TED to bring its content to guests worldwide.
TED will curate content especially for Marriott guests with different themes each quarter.
It will be offered via curated TED Talks, blogs and inspirational quotes presented through guest room entertainment and when logging into Wi-Fi.
There will also be original videos created by TED for Marriott guests which will also be published on Marriott social media platforms.
"At Marriott Hotels, everything we do is guided by our belief that travel expands the mind and triggers new and creative ways of thinking. We know that travelers today look for more in a hotel and we are bringing to life new innovations that help elevate guests’ stay to memorable experiences," said Matthew Carroll, Marriott vice president and global brand manager.
"TED content does not only entertain, but educates and engages on topics that are relevant to our guests. Together we are delivering a series of original content, events and experiences that will spark travelers’ creativity."
Additionally, an ‘inspirational menu’ of TED assets will be available for group meetings and corporate guests.
"Marriott has created a space that is perfect for our global, creative, and action-oriented community of Fellows. "TED Fellows represent 90 countries all over the world, and are working at the forefronts of their domain. Marriott’s hotels are there where we are, and the space they have built is enabling a true exchange of ideas," said TED Fellows deputy director Shoham Arad.
