Fairfield by Marriott is a franchised economy to midscale hotel brand owned by Marriott International. Founded in October 1987 and inspired by the Marriott family's Fairfield Farm in Hume, Virginia, the brand prioritizes simplicity and value. It offers essential amenities like complimentary hot breakfast, Wi-Fi, and comfortable workspaces, while foregoing some of the luxuries found in higher-tier hotels. As of June 30, 2021, Fairfield by Marriott operated 1,169 hotels worldwide, with many more in development. The parent company, Marriott International, is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland.
