The "News" on Newspaper Delivery

In your member profile, you now have a new newspaper preference option you can select when staying at Marriott hotels. Your available options are determined by the hotel brand you’re staying at and where the hotel is located.
 
Hotels in the United States:
At JW Marriott, Marriott and Renaissance hotels, we deliver your preferred newspaper to your door. When you select “No delivery – available in lobby,” newspapers are available at the front desk or in other public areas throughout the hotel.
 
For Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, Residence Inn, SpringHill Suites and TownePlace Suites, newspapers are available at or near the front desk.

Hotels Outside the United States:
At Marriott, JW Marriott, and Renaissance hotels, we offer members a choice of local newspaper delivery options at time of check-in. Due to the limited availability of USA Today and Wall Street Journal overseas, those titles might not be available.
 
For Courtyard and Marriott Executive Apartments, local newspapers are available in public areas throughout the hotel.
 
Update your newspaper preference profile anytime.
