CAC is one of five organizations authorized by ICANN to administer UDRP proceedings. Its panelists are usually IP lawyers, not usually from the Czech Republic -- Rodenbaugh is American. It has a bit of a reputation for being cheaper than, say, WIPO, and (anecdotally) often more likely to side with complainants.
It's not correct to state that Marriott would have to offer .hotel to everybody.
Each new registry gets to define its own policies. Marriott could simply state that .hotel registrations are only open to Marriott, in much the same way as .gov is only open to the US government and .me.uk is only open to individuals. The ICANN program enables this.
