After nearly 35 years, Marriott International is ending a longstanding exclusive relationship with Pepsi \u2014 opting instead to use Coca-Cola products in its 9,800 properties worldwide.<\/p>\n

Marriott first inked its iconic deal with Pepsi in 1992, creating what guests viewed as both fierce loyalty and bad decision-making.<\/p>\n

Now that Coca-Cola is gaining access to a whopping 1.78 million hotel rooms<\/a> in 145 countries and territories, travelers are reviving the age-old debate: Coke or Pepsi?<\/p>\n

The hotel and resort chain<\/a> confirmed to Fox News Digital that it’s reached an agreement with Coca-Cola to supply beverages across its properties.<\/p>\n

Marriott told hotels, according to the blog “View from the Wing,” “The Coca-Cola portfolio is favored by more than 70% of Marriott\u2019s guests.”<\/p>\n

Travelers are weighing in on the soda swap, with their opinions split over the impact on thousands of hotels.<\/p>\n

PepsiCo acknowledged the shift in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“We’re incredibly proud of the 35-year partnership we’ve had with Marriott and look forward to the opportunity to continue working together in the future,” PepsiCo said.<\/p>\n

Travelers quickly descended on Reddit to applaud or blast the change.<\/p>\n

“About time,” one user wrote about the Pepsi pivot.<\/p>\n

“I chose to stay in a different chain many times just because of the no-Coke thing<\/a>,” another user added.<\/p>\n

“This is the best news ever,” a third user said, reacting to the shakeup.<\/p>\n

Others were concerned the news was an April Fools’ Joke.<\/p>\n

“Please don\u2019t be a joke. That\u2019s just cruel.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Coca-Cola for comment.<\/p>\n

Other Marriott guests expressed disappointment about the soda switch.<\/p>\n

“Wow, so sad \u2014 Pepsi has a deeper portfolio of drinks,<\/a> and I prefer Pepsi any day,” one user wrote.<\/p>\n

“I book 100+ nights a year with Marriott just because they have Pepsi products. Otherwise, I\u2019d go with another brand,” another user noted.<\/p>\n

In 1991, Marriott switched from Coca-Cola to Pepsi after Coca-Cola declined to provide a loan of $50 to $100 million that Marriott had requested, according to reports at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pepsi ultimately secured the deal to supply drinks across Marriott\u2019s hotels and food-service operations.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital previously reported that Coca-Cola has been exploring changes to its beverage lineup as consumer preferences evolve.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s CEO has suggested future drinks<\/a> could include added ingredients like protein or fiber, as part of a broader strategy to expand beyond traditional soda offerings.<\/p>\n

The shift reflects growing demand for functional beverages<\/a>, though some health experts have warned that such products may still fall short of being truly healthy alternatives.<\/p>\n
