*Atlanta-based Coca-Cola recently inked a deal with Marriott International to become its beverage provider. The deal is a huge win for Coke, given Marriott’s global footprint with 9,700 properties in 143 countries. The agreement has Coke replacing its long-time competitor, Pepsi. This rivalry with the hotel chain began in 1992, after Coca-Cola refused a multimillion-dollar loan request during Marriott’s period of financial difficulty. So, Marriott went with Pepsi. According to Beverage Digest, hotel guests will soon begin to see Coke brands across Marriott Hotels, including Courtyard, Ritz-Carlton, Sheraton, and Westin.
