</TABLE>

ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER

         This statement relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share
("Common Stock"), of Marriott International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 10400
Fernwood Road, Bethesda, Maryland 20817.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         This statement is being filed by J.W. Marriott, Jr. ("JWM") and Richard
E. Marriott ("REM"). (JWM and REM are referred to hereinafter collectively as
the "Reporting Persons.") The Reporting Persons are the sons of the late J.W.
Marriott, Sr., the founder of Marriott Corporation (now known as Host Marriott
Corporation). JWM's principal occupation is serving as the Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer. The principal occupation of REM is
serving as the Chairman of the Board of Host Marriott Corporation.

         The business address of each of the Reporting Persons is 10400 Fernwood
Road, Bethesda, Maryland 20817.

         Each of the Reporting Persons is a citizen of the United States.
Neither of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been (i)
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such
proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal
or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         The Issuer is a newly formed corporation, which is comprised of a
portion of the business of the company previously known as Marriott
International, Inc. ("Old Marriott"). On October 1, 1997, Old Marriott announced
that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Sodexho Alliance, S.A.
("Sodexho"), a worldwide food and management services organization headquartered
in France, to combine Old Marriott's food service and facilities management
business with the North American operations of Sodexho (the "Merger"). In order
to effectuate the Merger, Old Marriott created a new corporation, the Issuer,
containing its lodging, senior living services and distribution services
businesses. Shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock of the Issuer were
then spun-off from Old Marriott in a distribution to its shareholders (the
"Distribution"). The Merger and the Distribution received shareholder approval
at a special meeting of the shareholders of Old Marriott held on March 17,
1998 and March 20, 1998.  The Merger became effective and the Distribution
took place on March 27, 1998. The Reporting Persons were shareholders of Old
Marriott and received their holdings of the Issuer's securities as a result of
the Distribution. Shareholders of Old Marriott received, in exchange for one
share of Old Marriott, one share of Common Stock and one share of Class A
Common Stock of the Issuer. The holder of each share of Common Stock is
entitled to one vote and each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to ten
votes. In addition, options for Old Marriott were converted into options for
both Common Stock and Class A Common Stock of the Issuer with the number of
shares issuable upon exercise and the exercise price of the options being
adjusted such that the

</TABLE>

financial value of the options remained the same immediately before and after
the Merger and Distribution.

         The Reporting Persons received substantially all of their shares of Old
Marriott on October 8, 1993, when Old Marriott's former parent company, Marriott
Corporation, distributed to holders of its outstanding common stock, on a
share-for-share basis, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Old
Marriott at which time Old Marriott became a separate, publicly-held company.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         As described in Item 3 above, all of the Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Reporting Persons was issued in connection with the Distribution.
In addition, as described in Item 5 below, a substantial number of the shares of
Common Stock reported herein are held by the Reporting Persons (or their wives)
as trustees of various trusts established for the benefit of various members of
the Reporting Persons' families.

         In both their individual and representative capacities, the Reporting
Persons have acquired the Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D for
investment. Consistent with that purpose, the Reporting Persons have no current
plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of any securities of the Issuer. The
Reporting Persons may, however, from time to time, depending upon market
conditions and other factors deemed relevant, invest in additional shares of
Common Stock or engage in a sale or other disposition of all or a portion of the
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them.

         J.W. Marriott, Jr. currently holds a senior management position and
Richard E. Marriott is a director of the Issuer and thus they are "affiliates"
of the Issuer as defined in the Securities Act of 1933.  The Reporting Persons
have no current plans or proposals (other than to the extent of their
participation in deliberations of the Board of Directors of the Issuer) that
relate to or would result in an extraordinary corporate transaction involving
the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or transfer of any of the
Issuer's assets, a change in the present Board of Directors or management of
the Issuer, a change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the
Issuer, a change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure, a change in
the Issuer's certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or the delisting or
deregistration of any of the Issuer's securities.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         The Reporting Persons beneficially own, in the aggregate, 22,250,499
shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (including 946,645 shares subject to
options exercisable within 60 days of March 27, 1998), which represents
approximately 17.4 % of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of
March 27, 1998.
