Marriott to accept Apple Pay this summer

Guests using Apple Pay at check-in will simply bring their iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus or soon, Apple Watch, near the contactless reader at the front desk. When their device responds with a subtle vibration and beep, the payment information has been securely captured. There will be no need to provide a credit card upon check-in.

Marriott will launch an app for the Apple Watch, upon availability. With the Apple Watch app, Marriott Rewards members will be able to use it to check-in in advance, receive prior notification when their room is ready, and checkout at nearly 4,000 hotels globally.

Marriott expects to start offering Apple Pay at these eleven hotels:

The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park

The Ritz-Carlton Washington D.C.

EDITION Miami

JW Marriott Chicago

Renaissance New York Times Square Hotel

San Francisco Marriott Marquis

San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront
