J.W. "Bill" Marriott, Jr., is a pioneer of modern-day hospitality. Starting in the business at the age of 5 — as a "salesman" for his family's A&W root beer stand, he joined the family business, full-time, in 1956 and built Marriott International into what it is today — one of the most successful and respected companies in the world, with nearly 3,800 properties in more than 70 countries and annual revenues exceeding $12 billion. In Without Reservations, Marriott shares the story of this success — along with candid insights about mistakes made, opportunities missed and lessons learned during a life spent in a business where people always come first.
