The company's second division, Marcus Hotels & Resorts, owns and manages a distinctive portfolio of full-service hotels, resorts, and restaurants, primarily located in the Midwest and West. A notable characteristic of the company's business model is its significant ownership of real estate, which provides operational stability and bolsters its balance sheet.

The company's theatre division features premium amenities such as recliner seating, large-format screens, and in-theatre dining.
