Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Marriott International, Inc. and subsidiaries (referred to in this report as “we,” “us,” “Marriott,” or “the Company”). In order to make this report easier to read, we also refer throughout to (i) our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as our “Financial Statements,” (ii) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as our “Income Statements,” (iii) our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as our “Balance Sheets,” (iv) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as our “Statements of Cash Flows,” (v) our properties, brands, or markets in the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada as “North America” or “North American,” and (vi) our properties, brands, or markets in our Caribbean and Latin America region, Europe, Middle East and Africa segment, and Asia Pacific segment, as “International.” In addition, references throughout to numbered “Notes” refer to these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise stated. These Financial Statements have not been audited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The financial statements in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Form 10-K”). Certain terms not otherwise defined in this Form 10-Q have the meanings specified in our 2019 Form 10-K. Preparation of financial statements that conform with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods, and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. The uncertainty created by the coronavirus and efforts to contain it (“COVID-19”) has made such estimates more difficult and subjective. Accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019. Interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations, as well as the impact of COVID-19. We have eliminated all material intercompany transactions and balances between entities consolidated in these Financial Statements. New Accounting Standards Adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13 - “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses” (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 requires the use of an impairment methodology that reflects an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, based on information about past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions. We adopted ASU 2016-13 in the 2020 first quarter using the modified retrospective transition method. Upon adoption, we increased our allowance for credit losses in the “Accounts and notes receivable, net” caption of our Balance Sheets by $19 million, from $82 million at December 31, 2019 to $101 million at January 1, 2020. We also recorded a $4 million decrease in the “Deferred tax liabilities” caption of our Balance Sheets and a $15 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings on our Balance Sheets. Additionally, we recorded provisions for credit losses of $45 million in the 2020 second quarter and $123 million in the 2020 first half, primarily due to the negative economic impact caused by COVID-19 and our estimate of future economic conditions. The allowance for credit losses was $206 million at June 30, 2020.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Charges	RESTRUCTURING CHARGES We initiated several regional restructuring plans to achieve cost savings in response to the decline in lodging demand caused by COVID-19. In the 2020 first half, we recorded $26 million of restructuring charges for employee termination benefits, of which we present $6 million in the “Restructuring and merger-related charges” caption and $20 million in the “Reimbursed expenses” caption of our Income Statements. Our global above-property restructuring activities are currently expected to result in approximately $125 million to $145 million of charges, primarily related to employee termination benefits. We expect to substantially complete the foregoing programs relating to our above-property organization by year-end 2020.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2020
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION We granted 1.6 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) during the 2020 first half to certain officers and key employees, and those units vest generally over four years in equal annual installments commencing one year after the grant date. We also granted 0.1 million performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”) in the 2020 first half to certain executive officers, which are earned, subject to continued employment and the satisfaction of certain performance conditions based on achievement of pre-established targets for gross room openings, active Marriott Bonvoy™ loyalty member growth, and adjusted operating income growth over, or at the end of, a three-year performance period. RSUs, including PSUs, granted in the 2020 first half had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $111 per unit. We recorded share-based compensation expense for RSUs and PSUs of $46 million in the 2020 second quarter and $48 million in the 2019 second quarter, $85 million in the 2020 first half, and $86 million in the 2019 first half. Deferred compensation costs for unvested awards for RSUs and PSUs totaled $268 million at June 30, 2020 and $176 million at December 31, 2019.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES Our effective tax rate was 21.5 percent for the 2020 second quarter compared to 26.2 percent for the 2019 second quarter. The decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the prior year tax expense incurred for U.S. tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) and the prior year impact of the non-tax deductible accrual for the Proposed ICO Fine. Our effective tax rate was 27.3 percent for the 2020 first half compared to 18.7 percent for the 2019 first half. The change in our effective tax rate was primarily due to a more favorable impact from stock based compensation as a percentage of lower pre-tax book income.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Guarantees We present the maximum potential amount of our future guarantee fundings and the carrying amount of our liability for our debt service, operating profit, and other guarantees (excluding contingent purchase obligations) for which we are the primary obligor at June 30, 2020 in the following table: ($ in millions) Guarantee Type Maximum Potential Amount of Future Fundings Recorded Liability for Guarantees Debt service $ 53 $ 6 Operating profit 207 132 Other 17 4 $ 277 $ 142 Our maximum potential guarantees listed in the preceding table include $78 million of guarantees that will not be in effect until the underlying properties open and we begin to operate the properties or certain other events occur. Contingent Purchase Obligation Sheraton Grand Chicago . We granted the owner a one-time right, exercisable in 2022, to require us to purchase the leasehold interest in the land and the hotel for $300 million in cash (the “put option”). If the owner exercises the put option, we have the option to purchase, at the same time the put transaction closes, the fee simple interest in the underlying land for an additional $200 million in cash. We accounted for the put option as a guarantee, and our recorded liability at June 30, 2020 was $57 million. Starwood Data Security Incident Description of Event On November 30, 2018, we announced a data security incident involving unauthorized access to the Starwood reservations database (the “Data Security Incident”). Working with leading security experts, we determined that there was unauthorized access to the Starwood network since 2014 and that an unauthorized party had copied information from the Starwood reservations database and taken steps towards removing it. The Starwood reservations database is no longer used for business operations . Expenses and Insurance Recoveries In the 2020 second quarter, we recorded $3 million of expenses and $3 million of accrued insurance recoveries, and in the 2019 second quarter, we recorded $148 million of expenses and $22 million of accrued insurance recoveries, related to the Data Security Incident. In the 2020 first half, we recorded $18 million of expenses and $20 million of accrued insurance recoveries, and in the 2019 first half, we recorded $192 million of expenses and $68 million of accrued insurance recoveries, related to the Data Security Incident. We received insurance recoveries of $20 million in the 2020 second quarter, $12 million in the 2019 second quarter, $44 million in the 2020 first half, and $52 million in the 2019 first half. Expenses for the 2020 second quarter and year-to-date primarily included legal costs. We recognize insurance recoveries when they are probable of receipt and present them in our Income Statements in the same caption as the related expense, up to the amount of total expense incurred in prior and current periods. We present expenses and insurance recoveries related to the Data Security Incident in either the “Reimbursed expenses” or “Restructuring and merger-related charges” captions of our Income Statements. Litigation, Claims, and Government Investigations Following our announcement of the Data Security Incident, approximately 100 lawsuits were filed by consumers and others against us in U.S. federal, U.S. state and Canadian courts related to the incident. All but one of the U.S. cases were consolidated and transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, pursuant to orders of the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the “MDL”). The plaintiffs in the U.S. and Canadian cases, who generally purport to represent various classes of consumers, generally claim to have been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by the Company in connection with the Data Security Incident and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other related relief. Among the U.S. cases consolidated in the MDL proceeding is a putative class action lawsuit that was filed against us and certain of our current officers and directors on December 1, 2018, alleging violations of the federal securities laws in connection with statements regarding our cybersecurity systems and controls, and seeking certification of a class of affected persons, unspecified monetary damages, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other related relief. The MDL proceeding also includes two shareholder derivative complaints that were filed on February 26, 2019 and March 15, 2019, respectively, against the Company, certain of its officers and certain current and former members of our Board of Directors, alleging, among other claims, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, unjust enrichment, mismanagement and violations of the federal securities laws, and seeking unspecified monetary damages and restitution, changes to the Company’s corporate governance and internal procedures, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other related relief. A third shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery on December 3, 2019 against the Company and certain of its officers and certain current and former members of our Board of Directors, alleging claims and seeking relief generally similar to the claims made and relief sought in the other two derivative cases. This case will not be consolidated with the MDL proceeding. We dispute the allegations in the lawsuits described above and are vigorously defending against such claims. We have filed motions to dismiss several of these cases, some of which have been denied, but the cases generally remain at an early stage. There has been some consolidation of the Canadian cases, with five cases now pending across five provinces, and we expect there could be further consolidation in the future. In addition, in April 2019, we received a letter purportedly on behalf of a shareholder of the Company (also one of the named plaintiffs in the putative securities class action described above) demanding that our Board of Directors take action against the Company’s current and certain former officers and directors to recover damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and related claims arising from the Data Security Incident. The Board of Directors has constituted a demand review committee to investigate the claims made in the demand letter, and the committee has retained independent counsel to assist with the investigation. The committee’s investigation is ongoing. In addition, numerous U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign governmental authorities are investigating, or otherwise seeking information and/or documents related to, the Data Security Incident and related matters, including Attorneys General offices from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, the Federal Trade Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain committees of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, the Information Commissioner’s Office in the United Kingdom (the “ICO”) as lead supervisory authority in the European Economic Area, and regulatory authorities in various other jurisdictions. In July 2019, the ICO issued a formal notice of intent under the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018 proposing a fine in the amount of £99 million against the Company in relation to the Data Security Incident (the “Proposed ICO Fine”). In late August 2019, we submitted a written response to the ICO vigorously defending our position, and we have continued to engage with the ICO regarding the Data Security Incident and Proposed ICO Fine. We mutually agreed with the ICO to an extension of the regulatory process until September 30, 2020 and the ICO proceeding is ongoing. Our accrual for this loss contingency, which we present in the “Accrued expenses and other” caption of our Balance Sheets, of $65 million at December 31, 2019, remained unchanged at June 30, 2020.

We recorded impairment charges for right-of-use assets and property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, of $15 million in the 2020 second quarter and $105 million in the 2020 first half in the “Depreciation, amortization, and other” caption of our Income Statements relating to the impact of COVID-19 on several North America leased hotels. We determined that we may not be able to fully recover the carrying amount of these North America hotel leases after evaluating the assets for recovery due to declines in market performance and future cash flow projections. We estimated the fair value using an income approach reflecting internally developed Level 3 discounted cash flows that included, among other things, our expectations of future cash flows based on historical experience and projected growth rates, usage estimates, and demand trends.

We are party to a multicurrency revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Facility”) that provides for up to $4.5 billion of aggregate effective borrowings to support our commercial paper program and general corporate needs, including working capital, capital expenditures, letters of credit, and acquisitions. Borrowings under the Credit Facility generally bear interest at LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) plus a spread based on our public debt rating. We also pay quarterly fees on the Credit Facility at a rate based on our public debt rating. We classify outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and outstanding commercial paper borrowings as long-term based on our ability and intent to refinance the outstanding borrowings on a long-term basis. The Credit Facility expires on June 28, 2024. We borrowed $2.5 billion under the Credit Facility in March 2020 and another $2.0 billion in early April 2020, resulting in the Credit Facility being fully drawn as of April 2, 2020, with a total of $4.5 billion outstanding. Our borrowings under the Credit Facility were to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the impact on global markets resulting from COVID-19. We have since repaid a portion of those borrowings, reducing the total outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility to $1.55 billion as of June 30, 2020. Remaining proceeds from the Credit Facility borrowings may be used to repay commercial paper when it matures and for general corporate or other purposes permitted by the Credit Facility. In April 2020, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility. The amendment waives the quarterly-tested leverage covenant in the Credit Facility through and including the first quarter of 2021 (which waiver period may end sooner at our election), adjusts the required leverage levels for the covenant when it is re-imposed at the end of the waiver period, and imposes a new monthly-tested liquidity covenant for the duration of the waiver period. The amendment also makes certain other amendments to the terms of the Credit Facility, including increasing the interest and fees payable on the Credit Facility for the duration of the period during which the waiver of the leverage covenant remains in effect, tightening certain existing covenants, and imposing additional covenants for the duration of the waiver period. These covenant changes include tightening the lien covenant and the covenant on dividends, share repurchases and distributions, and imposing new covenants limiting asset sales, investments and discretionary capital expenditures. In April 2020, we issued $1.6 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.750 percent Series EE Notes due May 1, 2025 (the “Series EE Notes”). We will pay interest on the Series EE Notes in May and November of each year, commencing in November 2020. We received net proceeds of approximately $1.581 billion from the offering of the Series EE Notes, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses, which were made available for general corporate purposes. In June 2020, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.625 percent Series FF Notes due June 15, 2030 (the “Series FF Notes”). We will pay interest on the Series FF Notes in June and December of each year, commencing in December 2020. We received net proceeds of approximately $985 million from the offering of the Series FF Notes, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated expenses. We used the majority of these proceeds to repurchase Senior Notes with near term maturities , as further described below . In June 2020, we completed a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) and retired $853 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes consisting of: • $351 million of our 2.3% Series Q Notes maturing January 15, 2022; • $176 million of our 3.3% Series L Notes maturing September 15, 2022; and • $326 million of our 2.1% Series DD Notes maturing October 3, 2022. We used proceeds from our Series FF Notes offering to complete the repurchase of such notes, including the payment of accrued interest and other costs incurred. In July 2020, we redeemed all $350 million aggregate principal amount of our Series M Notes due in October 2020.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Contracts with Customers	CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS Our current and noncurrent Loyalty Program liability increased by $362 million, to $6,080 million at June 30, 2020, from $5,718 million at December 31, 2019, primarily reflecting an increase in points earned by members, partially offset by $553 million of revenue recognized in the 2020 first half, that was deferred as of December 31, 2019. The current portion of our Loyalty Program liability decreased compared to December 31, 2019 due to lower estimated redemptions in the short-term as a result of COVID-19. At each reporting period, we evaluate the estimates used in the recognition of Loyalty Program revenues, including estimates of the breakage of points that members will never redeem and the amount of funding we expect to receive over the life of the agreements with various third parties. In the 2020 first half, the updated estimates resulted in a net increase in deferred revenue, and a corresponding net reduction of revenue of approximately $25 million ($18 million net of tax). In May 2020, we signed amendments to the existing agreements for our U.S.-issued co-brand credit cards associated with our Loyalty Program. These amendments provided the Company with $920 million of cash from the prepayment of certain future revenues, the early payment of a previously committed signing bonus, and the pre-purchase of Marriott Bonvoy points and other consideration. We recorded the amount of cash received primarily in the deferred revenue caption, and the remainder in the liability for guest loyalty program captions, on our Balance Sheet. We recognize revenue related to the license of our intellectual property as the credit cards are used and revenue related to the points and free night certificates as the points and free night certificates are redeemed. See the “Loyalty Program” caption of Note 2 of our 2019 Form 10-K for more information on our performance obligations. In the 2020 second quarter, we recognized incentive management fees from certain hotels, primarily in Asia Pacific, for which we estimate that a reversal of such fees is not probable.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segments	BUSINESS SEGMENTS Beginning in the 2020 first quarter, we modified our segment structure due to a change in the way management evaluates results and allocates resources within the Company, resulting in the following operating segments: North America; Asia Pacific; Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Caribbean and Latin America (“CALA”). Our CALA operating segment does not meet the applicable accounting criteria for separate disclosure as a reportable business segment. We revised the prior period amounts shown in the tables below to conform to our current presentation. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments using “segment profits/loss” which is based largely on the results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses, income taxes, indirect general, administrative, and other expenses, certain restructuring charges, or merger-related costs. We assign gains and losses, equity in earnings or losses from our joint ventures, direct general, administrative, and other expenses, and certain other restructuring charges to each of our segments. “Unallocated corporate and other” includes a portion of our revenues, including license fees we receive from our credit card programs, fees from vacation ownership licensing agreements, revenues and expenses for our Loyalty Program, general, administrative, and other expenses, restructuring and merger-related charges, equity in earnings or losses, and other gains or losses that we do not allocate to our segments as well as results of our CALA operating segment. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, monitors assets for the consolidated Company but does not use assets by operating segment when assessing performance or making operating segment resource allocations. Segment Revenues The following tables present our revenues disaggregated by segment and major revenue stream for the 2020 second quarter, 2019 second quarter, 2020 first half, and 2019 first half: Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 ($ in millions) North America Asia Pacific EMEA Total Gross fee revenues $ 113 $ 25 $ 8 $ 146 Contract investment amortization (14) (4) (2) (20) Net fee revenues 99 21 6 126 Owned, leased, and other revenue 17 7 9 33 Cost reimbursement revenue 963 58 72 1,093 Total reportable segment revenue $ 1,079 $ 86 $ 87 $ 1,252 Unallocated corporate and other 212 Total revenue $ 1,464 Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 ($ in millions) North America Asia Pacific EMEA Total Gross fee revenues $ 613 $ 112 $ 109 $ 834 Contract investment amortization (11) (1) (2) (14) Net fee revenues 602 111 107 820 Owned, leased, and other revenue 185 50 144 379 Cost reimbursement revenue 3,517 149 260 3,926 Total reportable segment revenue $ 4,304 $ 310 $ 511 $ 5,125 Unallocated corporate and other 180 Total revenue $ 5,305 Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 ($ in millions) North America Asia Pacific EMEA Total Gross fee revenues $ 519 $ 57 $ 54 $ 630 Contract investment amortization (33) (5) (6) (44) Net fee revenues 486 52 48 586 Owned, leased, and other revenue 119 38 100 257 Cost reimbursement revenue 4,294 165 283 4,742 Total reportable segment revenue $ 4,899 $ 255 $ 431 $ 5,585 Unallocated corporate and other 560 Total revenue $ 6,145 Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 ($ in millions) North America Asia Pacific EMEA Total Gross fee revenues $ 1,141 230 $ 193 $ 1,564 Contract investment amortization (22) (1) (4) (27) Net fee revenues 1,119 229 189 1,537 Owned, leased, and other revenue 363 91 266 720 Cost reimbursement revenue 6,896 260 474 7,630 Total reportable segment revenue $ 8,378 580 $ 929 $ 9,887 Unallocated corporate and other 430 Total revenue $ 10,317 Segment Profits and Losses Three Months Ended Six Months Ended ($ in millions) June 30, 2020 June 30, 2019 June 30, 2020 June 30, 2019 North America $ (36) $ 591 $ 122 $ 1,082 Asia Pacific (41) 92 (51) 195 EMEA (96) 96 (133) 153 Unallocated corporate and other (6) (369) (11) (497) Interest expense, net of interest income (119) (96) (206) (187) Benefit (provision) for income taxes 64 (82) 76 (139) Net (loss) income $ (234) $ 232 $ (203) $ 607

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards Adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13 - “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses” (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 requires the use of an impairment methodology that reflects an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, based on information about past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions. We adopted ASU 2016-13 in the 2020 first quarter using the modified retrospective transition method. Upon adoption, we increased our allowance for credit losses in the “Accounts and notes receivable, net” caption of our Balance Sheets by $19 million, from $82 million at December 31, 2019 to $101 million at January 1, 2020. We also recorded a $4 million decrease in the “Deferred tax liabilities” caption of our Balance Sheets and a $15 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings on our Balance Sheets. Additionally, we recorded provisions for credit losses of $45 million in the 2020 second quarter and $123 million in the 2020 first half, primarily due to the negative economic impact caused by COVID-19 and our estimate of future economic conditions. The allowance for credit losses was $206 million at June 30, 2020.
