No, Staybridge Suites is not part of Marriott; it is a brand owned and operated by IHG Hotels & Resorts (InterContinental Hotels Group). Staybridge Suites is positioned as an "extended-stay" hotel brand, competing directly with Marriott’s Residence Inn and Element brands. It features apartment-style suites with full kitchens, communal evening social hours, and complimentary breakfast, catering primarily to business travelers or families on long-term stays. If you are looking for the Marriott equivalent in the extended-stay category, you would look for brands like Residence Inn by Marriott, TownePlace Suites, or Marriott Executive Apartments. Because Staybridge is an IHG brand, you earn and redeem "IHG One Rewards" points there, rather than "Marriott Bonvoy" points. IHG’s portfolio also includes other well-known brands such as Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, and InterContinental. Understanding this distinction is important for travelers who are loyal to a specific points program, as staying at a Staybridge Suites will not contribute to your Marriott elite status or Bonvoy point balance.
