"In response to the incidents in New York City and other locations we have established a Marriott Assistance Center. The toll-free number is 1-866-866-9928 (from outside the U.S. and Canada, call us collect at 941-541-1725). This line is for family and friends concerned about loved ones who may be at or near those locations.
"We are working closely with local and national authorities to protect and comfort our guests and employees in those locations, and to identify the names of people potentially affected by these events.
"The New York Marriott World Trade Center and New York Marriott Financial Center hotels have been evacuated. However, because it is virtually impossible for us to know if a guest was in the building at the time of the event, our efforts to verify that information could take some time.
"We understand the urgency of providing you information and we have assigned a team of people to do so as quickly as possible. We will provide updates as they become available.
"The thoughts and prayers of the associates of Marriott International are with the families and loved ones affected by this tragic event."
