Marriott has launched a new promotion with Visa offering free breakfast at 250 hotels across Europe, including the new JW Marriott Venice below. Many Marriott-owned brands are covered as well as Marriott itself.
You need to book by 10th September for stay by 11th September and pay for your stay with a Visa card. You need to check pricing when booking as some Marriott promotions do result in higher prices than you would usually pay.
