As a stylish, reusable product that helps consumers stay hydrated and consume less plastic while on the go, S'well bottles will be available for purchase at Element Hotels' RESTORE pantry and in each room. Guests will be able to conveniently fill their S'wells at the filtered water spouts present in guestrooms.

"This partnership is a perfect opportunity to help guests start to create smart habits that they can carry with them throughout the year and wherever their adventures take them.

S'well products will also be available for purchase in-hotel at Element Hotels' sister brands AC Hotels by Marriott and Aloft Hotels and they will also be on-site at Moxy Hotels. S'well bottles will be available at more than 150 properties from January 2018, and the partnership will include a wide array of styles and distribution strategies unique to individual locales.

"Our new partnership with S'well is a motivational way to start the new year while offering our Element Hotels guests a fashionable and practical tool to stay hydrated throughout 2018 and beyond," said Toni Stoeckl, Global Brand Leader and Vice President, Distinctive Select Brands, Marriott International. "We know making sustainable and health-conscious choices is something that is really important to our guests, so we're excited to be able to provide them easy access to S'well bottles at all of our 150+ U.S. properties in the Distinctive Select portfolio."
