Make your property easier to choose online.
Marriott.com is moving properties into a newer ACRS booking environment, and many hotels are using this transition as a natural time to review how their property appears online.
Your image gallery is often one of the first places a guest decides whether your property feels current, clean, complete, and worth booking.
If your hotel has completed a renovation, PIP, brand refresh, ownership change, or partial update within the last few years, this is a practical moment to make sure your photography still reflects the actual guest experience.
A stronger online gallery supports stronger booking confidence.
When guests compare your property against nearby competitors, they are making quick decisions based on price, reviews, location, brand, and visual confidence.
Your photos help answer the questions guests are already asking:
Does this property feel clean and current?
Does the lobby feel welcoming?
Do the rooms look comfortable?
Can I clearly understand the room types?
Are the amenities worth choosing this hotel over another option nearby?
Does the property look like it is being actively cared for?
Professional hotel photography helps your property communicate those answers quickly across Marriott.com, OTAs, Google, sales outreach, and local marketing.

Refresh options
Most properties fall into one of three refresh scopes.
Public Area + Exterior Refresh
Typically $4,500–$7,000
Best for properties whose public-facing experience needs to feel more current online while rooms remain accurate and polished.
This may include:
Exterior ground photography
Drone photography where permitted
Porte cochere / arrival
Lobby
Front desk
Market
Breakfast area
Fitness center
Pool
Patio or outdoor seating
Meeting space
Business center
Key public amenities
Pricing depends on amenity count, exterior needs, drone access, styling requirements, and final image scope.
Room Type Gallery Refresh
Typically $5,500–$8,000
Best for properties whose rooms, bathrooms, suites, or room type galleries need to be updated while public spaces remain current.
This may include:
All currently sold room types
Bathrooms
Suites where applicable
Accessible rooms where needed
In-room amenities
Room detail images
Updated exterior coverage
Drone photography where permitted
Room-focused projects are priced according to the number of room types, bathrooms, suites, required angles, styling needs, and retouching complexity.
Rooms are often one of the most important parts of the gallery because they directly affect booking confidence. Guests want to know what they are choosing before they reserve.
Complete Property Refresh
Typically $7,500–$9,500
Best for properties that have completed a renovation, PIP, brand refresh, ownership change, or whose full online image gallery no longer reflects the current guest experience.
This may include:
Exterior ground photography
Drone photography where permitted
Arrival experience
Lobby
Front desk
Breakfast
Market
Fitness center
Pool
Public amenities
Meeting space where applicable
All currently sold room types
Bathrooms
Suites where applicable

ACRS Photo Launch Support
A complete refresh is often the cleanest solution when the property needs a stronger overall first impression across Marriott.com, OTAs, Google, and local marketing channels.
All refresh projects include exterior coverage.
Even when the primary need is rooms or public spaces, exterior photography still plays an important role in the property’s online presence.
All refresh projects include updated exterior photography from the ground and drone photography where permitted.
This helps the image gallery feel current and complete rather than patched together from different stages of the property’s history.
Why this matters for revenue
Photography does not guarantee a specific increase in RevPAR, occupancy, or ADR. However, the math of hotel revenue makes even small improvements meaningful.
If an updated gallery helps improve booking confidence, strengthens click-through, supports a higher perceived value, or helps the property win slightly more often against nearby competitors, the investment can return value quickly.
For many select-service hotels, even a small percentage improvement in RevPAR can represent thousands of dollars in added room revenue across the year.
The purpose of a professional image refresh is not simply to make the hotel look better.
The purpose is to help the property become easier to choose.

Is your current gallery helping or hurting the booking decision?
A refresh may be worth considering if:
Your property has completed a renovation or PIP in the last 2–5 years
You are preparing for the newer Marriott.com / ACRS booking environment
Your exterior images feel dated
Your Marriott.com gallery feels incomplete or outdated
Your hero images do not feel strong against nearby competitors
Rooms or public spaces have changed since the last full photoshoot
Room type images are inconsistent or unclear
Public amenities look better in person than they do online
Your gallery order does not lead with the property’s strongest selling points
Start with a gallery review
Not every property needs a complete refresh.
Some hotels only need updated public spaces and exteriors. Others need room type coverage. Some properties benefit most from a complete gallery rebuild.
If helpful, we will review your current Marriott.com gallery and recommend whether a focused refresh or complete property refresh makes the most sense.
Let’s make your property the one to choose — and put more heads in beds.
