MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL COMPLETES ACQUISITION
OF RENAISSANCE HOTEL GROUP

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 31, 1997 -- Marriott International, Inc. (MAR/NYSE)
today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Renaissance Hotel Group
N.V. (RHG/NYSE), a premier operator and franchisor of 150 hotels (46,425 rooms)
in 38 countries.

The shareholders of the Renaissance Hotel Group received $30 per share in cash.
As announced on February 18, Marriott agreed to acquire Renaissance Hotel Group
for a total acquisition cost of approximately $1 billion, including transaction
costs and existing net debt of Renaissance.

J.W. Marriott, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of Marriott
International, said, "We are very pleased to complete the acquisition of the
Renaissance Hotel Group, which adds three premier brands to our lodging business
and more than doubles Marriott's presence in markets outside the United States.
We have significantly expanded our access to customers in new and emerging
markets worldwide with the addition of these powerful brands."

Combined, Marriott and Renaissance Hotel Group currently operate or franchise
1,300 hotels with approximately 275,000 rooms.  As part of the acquisition,
Marriott has a strategic alliance for future hotel development with the Hong
Kong-based New World Development Co., Ltd., the principal Renaissance
shareholder prior to the transaction.

brand outside of the United States and Canada.  Renaissance Hotel Group also
master licenses the Ramada name in the United States and Canada to others under
long-term agreements.  The company does not have any significant owned real
estate.

time of Marriott's tender offer, 30,068,599 shares were tendered, including
