Delta’s corporate head office is at 77 King Street West (Toronto-Dominion Centre Royal Trust Tower).
Delta’s specific branding includes the Delta Privilege rewards program and “Signature Club” executive floor rooms that feature extra amenities and included breakfast.
On March 31, 2015, Marriott International acquired Delta Hotels from BC Investment Management Corporation.[6] Delta is now a wholly owned brand of Marriott and is included in the Marriott Rewards Loyalty program as of early 2016.
