When Marriott merged with Starwood Hotels in September, it created a hotel megabrand with more than 5,700 properties and 30 brands. To celebrate the merger, Marriott built an interactive map in New York's Rockefeller Center on Friday that let guests explore all of its properties around the globe.

The initiative was part of Marriott's Global Travel Day block party. People could swipe 30 giant radio-frequency-identification-equipped pushpins on the walkable map or at its 250 properties in New York City to win travel-related prizes.
