The mobile payment and digital wallet service by Apple lets users make payments using the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, Apple Watch-compatible devices, iPad Air 2, and iPad Mini 3.

To use the service, guests simply need to bring their devices near the contactless reader at the front desk during check-in.

The payment information is securely captured when their device responds with a subtle vibration and beep sound.

"Millions of customers already use Marriott Mobile to quickly book a hotel, check-in, or check out. Now, Apple Pay can make it virtually effortless."

Marriott Digital senior vice-president George Corbin said: "Approximately 75% of our guests travel with one or more mobile devices, and it is even higher among 25-35 year olds, a group that will make up a much larger proportion of our guests over the next three years.
