Who runs this hotel?

Three different companies can sit behind one hotel. How this works

OperatorThe company responsible for the hotel's day-to-day operations — hiring and training staff, service, food and beverage, housekeeping and revenue management. It can be different from both the owner and the brand.
Marriott International
BrandThe name on the door. The brand company sets standards and supplies the reservation system and loyalty programme — but it does not always run the hotel itself.

    The cited The Ritz-Carlton booking page confirms the property's brand affiliation but does not identify its day-to-day operator. Marriott International is retained only as probable pending property-level operator evidence; the booking page alone does not support high or verified confidence.
