Revenues rose 8% year-on-year to $7.01bn in the three months to September, from $6.49bn a year earlier.
Adjusted net income climbed 17% to $790m, while adjusted earnings per share jumped 22% to $3.02, ahead of the $2.84 consensus forecast.
Worldwide revenue per available room (RevPAR), a key industry performance measure, rose 6.5%, driven by higher room rates and occupancy. RevPAR increased 7.4% in the US and Canada and 4.4% across international markets.
Franchise and base management fees rose 13% to $1.34bn, driven by higher co-branded credit card fees, RevPAR growth and an expanding hotel portfolio. Incentive management fees jumped 22% to $181m.
Chief executive Anthony Capuano said: "Our excellent third-quarter results reflected continued momentum across our business, the benefits of our global scale, and the power of our brands and revenue engines."
He highlighted particularly strong trading in Asia-Pacific outside China, where RevPAR increased more than 9%. Growth in Europe also helped lift performance across the EMEA region, although the Middle East conflict continued to affect trading.
Marriott raised its full-year global RevPAR growth forecast to 4.5-5.0%, from 3.0-3.5% previously, citing strong third-quarter performance and expectations for continued healthy demand.
Marriott added around 20,100 net rooms during the quarter, taking its development pipeline to a record of more than 634,000 rooms across over 4,200 properties.
