trade secrets that are the private and confidential property of Marriott.
Unauthorized use, disclosure, or reproduction of any kind of the Design
Guidelines or any contents or material contained in these Design Guidelines is
expressly prohibited. The contents hereof are to be returned immediately upon
termination of any relationship or agreement giving the user authorization to
possess or use such information or materials. Marriott reserves the right to take
all actions and seek all available remedies, whether legal and/or equitable, for
any unauthorized or illegal use of the Design Guidelines or any of its content.
These documents are intended to serve as a starting point for complete design to
be performed by licensed professionals. They have been prepared with the sole
purpose of conveying the brand benchmark for this particular product only. The
architect, engineer, designer or any other design professional of record is
responsible for compliance with any and all laws or regulations of any type or
description governing the proposed construction.
B. Application: The Design Standards in this Chapter outline the elements required
to deliver the experience intended for the guest. While the prototype is
predicated on a three to five story building located on a suburban site, certain
strategic, urban or leisure markets may dictate the development of an amended /
augmented building program to ensure the success of the project.
• A prototype project employs a “prototypical” building design for a specific
building size. The prototype building plan is based on pre-programmed,
Guestroom quantities.
• “Custom” projects generally apply to urban and conversion projects that rely
heavily on the criteria contained in this Chapter, and require adjustment of
“typical” solutions to meet the “custom” design program.

8. Signage: The "Signage Specifications" provide the details and verbiage for
interior and exterior signage, graphics and related artwork.
April 2018 marriott international. all rights reserved. Residence Inn Overview & Project Administration 11
GR1.4 Project Application
A. Core Elements: Provide the following core program elements and related support
facilities:
1. The Gatehouse: A Gatehouse provides the place for guests to transition from
work to the room, from being “on” to being “off.” It provides a warm,
welcoming environment to work, unwind and relax in their own terms. It also
encompasses the back-of-house spaces necessary to support the proper
staffing and service. See <2A>.
5. Guestrooms: 128 Keys; per Prototype Drawings. Offer guests with spacious
studios, one and two bedroom suites based on the Brand's success. Provide
distinct functional zones for work, relaxation, comfort and sleep with
bathroom and dressing area, and a full size kitchen. See <7A>.
1. Feasibility Study: Identifies market factors that influence the design of the
property. The study identifies revenue generating elements including the
number and mix of guestrooms, amount of meeting space, amenities and
services.
12 Overview & Project Administration Residence Inn marriott international. all rights reserved. April 2018
2. Facilities Program: Derived from the Feasibility Study that outlines the hotel
space requirements, the approved project Facilities Program governs the
application of the Design Standards and space allocations. At a minimum, it
includes hotel design facilities, prototypical rooms, component plans and
services identified in the Design Standards as essential elements required by
the Brand.
GR1.5 Interpretations
A. General: The Design Standards provide design criteria and general design
concepts that require design resolution to provide solutions for non-prototypical
project specific situations. MI will provide additional interpretations and
information to assist in integrating the Design Standards into the non-typical
project design.
April 2018 marriott international. all rights reserved. Residence Inn Overview & Project Administration 13
GR1.6 Code & Regulation Compliance
A. Architect & Engineer of Record: The project Owner and the Architect and
Engineers of Record and consultants (design professionals) are responsible for
compliance with governing laws, codes and regulations.
GR1.7 Accessibility
A. Meeting the Needs of All Guests: In keeping with the best traditions of Marriott's
hospitality, we extend hotel services to all guests, including those with
disabilities.
1. Building Access: Provide an accessible public path of travel into the building
and into spaces accessible to guests.
C. Conflicts: In cases where the governing accessibility laws conflict or are not
mutually addressed, consult with MI to develop a program that accommodates
the guest's expectations.
14 Overview & Project Administration Residence Inn marriott international. all rights reserved. April 2018
A. Marriott International (MI) supports green and sustainable practices as an
integrated part of our hospitality business.
We have an important facilitating role to play, working in partnership with our
hotel Owners to implement sustainable design and operations, to conserve
natural resources, protect indigenous wildlife, enhance indoor environmental
quality, and reduce and recycle waste wherever possible.
Operating with a greater awareness of green and sustainable design, we strive to
support the environmental interests and concerns of our guests, associates,
business partners and communities.
3. Conservation International
April 2018 marriott international. all rights reserved. Residence Inn Overview & Project Administration 15
C. Environmental Impacts: Adjust design for sites with high humidity, noise, etc. At
ocean sites with salt exposure, select and provide applicable non-corrosive
finishes, equipment and physical plant materials.
A. Design Compliance - General: For all projects, the design compliance with MI
requirements is verified by a series of MI reviews, designer submissions and
documented agreements. The process includes the following.
B. Prototype Design: If a new project design is based on the prototype, the design
and review process may be expedited. Compliance with the complete prototype
requirements can benefit project development by reducing the design phase and
receiving acceptance without an initial review. Otherwise, the project design team
is required to follow a more complex series of project design reviews as
described in subsequent paragraphs.
C. Hotel Development Committee (HDC) Review: This review may be required if the
proposed building design is not derived from the prototype building and / or decor
package. Projects requiring an HDC presentation shall be presented to and
receive acceptance from MI's HDC, which is comprised of MI senior corporate
executives.
16 Overview & Project Administration Residence Inn marriott international. all rights reserved. April 2018

14.1 Guiding Principles
Rationale: Quickly containing and suppressing a fire can largely eliminate loss
of life and significantly reduce property damage and resulting business
interruption. Grease fires in kitchens are some of the most common and
dangerous sources of fires in a hotel. Elements of “firewalls” must resist fire and
contain smoke for a minimum period of time to be effective.
April 2018 marriott international. all rights reserved. Residence Inn Fire Protection & Life Safety 235
quickly exit from the building to avoid the danger.
E. Principle 5: Adequately address the need for effective smoke control to allow
occupants to exit the building.
In a fire, exit signs in public areas need to be visible and egress stairs need to be
usable.
Rationale: More people die in fires from inhalation of smoke and toxic vapors
than from being burned by flames.
F. Principle 6: Provide immediate standby power for emergency power and lighting.
Provide emergency lighting for th following.
• occupied areas (except guestrooms)
• egress paths and stairs
• exterior exit door discharge
G. Principle 7: Provide effective integration of elevator recall functions with fire alarm
systems.
When smoke is detected in the elevator lobby, elevator machine room or elevator
shaft, elevators must automatically return to:
• pre-designated levels (those with areas of egress) or
• alternative levels (if the pre-designated levels are affected by the fire)
This prevents elevators from stopping at floors affected by the fire. Thereafter,
control of elevators must be turned over to firefighters for emergency operations.
Lastly, the main power to elevators must automatically shut off when there is risk
of activation of sprinklers in the elevator hoistway or machine room (which can
cause elevators to act erratically).
Rationale: Building contents can serve as fuel for fires and emit toxic fumes
and must be carefully selected.

installed incorrectly.
