True, the Mariott Co. is owned by Bill Marriott, but he just builds hotels,
then sells them to investors and signs a management contract with the new
owners.

I'd say the owners, not Marriott or his family, have the say on pools, bars,
etc. in the hotel.  It would cartainly be bad business to try to open a
major-league hotel without a bar or a pool.

I don't think his religion gets in the way of business.
