CompetitorsTop Competitors for Marriott National & InternationalHyatt Holiday inn Hilton Best WesternHoliday inn SerenaSheraton

In recent years, Marriotts brand image has slid a bit and now is trying to rebound.The Islamabad Marriott Hotel has market share of 43%, among the competitors i.e. Holiday Inn, Serena, Pearl Continental (Rawalpindi), and Pearl Continental (Bhourbon).

Market Share (International)

Centralization & DecentralizationCentralizationAll orders are taken from the head office. In Hong Kong's JWMarriott the general manager maintains control of the business andmakes decisions in terms of the whole organization. This leads tolittle opportunity for subordinates to make their own decisionsleading to a lack of motivation. The Marriott prevents this fromtaking place by having some decentralization within the structure. All the decisions are taken by top managers.

Swot AnalysisStrengthsInternational brand nameConvenient location24 hour manned securityWorldwide reservation system (MARSHA). Reservations can be made from anywhere in the worldSwimming pool (all weather) for guests to relaxHealth clubs (ladies and gents) for all the health conscious people 24 hour business center with a complete business environment

WeaknessesInsufficient parking space. Parking is at a distance from the hotel in a dark area.No live cooking like barbeque etc. All indoors eating areas.Limited choices of restaurants. No traditional restaurant.Lack of sports facilities i.e. tennis courts, squash courts, etc.Marquee hall has no air-conditioning

OpportunitiesMore incentives for outstanding staff to retain them as it is difficult to find well trained staffRelocation of laundry shop and permit room, away from the main area.Specialty restaurant should be introduced to give a wider variety of cuisineUp-gradation of Health Club machinesAerobic classes should be introduced because most of the people have now become health consciousnessSmart rooms on each floor

Threats

New 5 star Serena hotel in Islamabad providing comfort to the people with a traditional outlook.

Instability of government, hampering policy decision. The unpredictable political scenario affects the business environment and interests.
