Marriott launches Four Points Flex as it acquires Zleep Hotels

Marriott’s Four Points brand has gained yet another brand extension.

We’ve already got Four Points Express, which is being used on high density, low floor space hotels. We haven’t made it to Four Points Express London Euston yet – partly due to the 8 sq metre (not a typo) base rooms and partly because you only earn 0.5 Bonvoy elite nights per night.

We now have Four Points Flex too.

Danish chain Zleep Hotels has agreed to rebrand 14 hotels as ‘Four Points Flex by Sheraton’. The bulk will be converted this year with the remainder in 2025. Zleep adds 1,500 rooms and 10 new Danish cities to Marriott Bonvoy. You can also find Zleep properties in Zurich, Madrid, Prague and Lausanne,

If you’re wondering what Four Points Flex is:

Four Points Flex by Sheraton offers value-conscious consumers a hotel experience in convenient locations, with principles of reliability, simplicity and value in both the design and guest experience. The brand targets midscale travelers who are practical planners that prioritize elements that make both business and leisure trips effortless. The rebranded hotels will treat these fundamentals with great importance by providing genuine and friendly service, clean and comfortable rooms, breakfast and complimentary Wi-Fi to deliver an efficient and relaxing experience at an affordable price.

It’s not clear how this differs from Four Points Express, or indeed the US version of Four Points ….

EDIT: Marriott has told us that Four Points Flex is the new name for Four Points Express, and the existing Four Points Express hotels will be rebranded.
