Host Marriott Services

Host Marriott Services Corporation ceased to be an independent company when it became HMSHost Corporation and was acquired by the Italian company Autogrill S.p.A..

History

The company's origins are in the Van Noy Railway News and Hotel Company founded in 1897 by the Van Noy Brothers of Kansas City, Missouri.

On January 2, 1996, Host Marriott Services Corporation was created when Host Marriott Corporation divided into two separate companies. Host Marriott continued to own lodging real estate. Host Marriott Services Corporation held and operates concessions at airports, on toll roads and at sports and entertainment attractions.
