many Renaissance Hotels are managed by
Marriott; however, some are operated under a
franchise license. Renaissance Hotels, Resorts
and Suites cater to an upmarket segment of the
traveling public. While initially acquired by
Marriott as a secondary-brand, in recent years
Renaissance has been promoted to a primary
brand.

8.

Marriott's Renaissance brand initially started as a
small chain, with limited offerings in remote areas.
However, as Marriott has decided to expand their
"lifestyle" collection, including the Renaissance
brand, the hotels can be found in over 50 locations
throughout the United States including Los Angeles,
Cleveland, New York, Palm Springs, Seattle, Dallas,
Albany, Baltimore, Austin, and Orlando

of new hotels in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The
portfolio includes historic grand hotels, city hotels, resorts and
residences. As well as famous names, such as the Hotel Adlon in
Berlin, the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi,
the Taschenbergpalais in Dresden, or the Çırağan Palace in Istanbul.
Kempinski is also a founder member of the hotel network Global
Hotel Alliance (GHA), which is active worldwide.
With the exception of the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten in Munich, which
belongs to the group, and two hotels with leasing contracts (the Hotel
Adlon in Berlin and the Grand Hotel des Bains in St. Moritz),
Kempinski Hotels is currently targeted mainly at the management of
luxury hotels.

The origins of the brand date back to 1933,
when Harvard classmates Ernest Henderson and Robert
Moore purchased the Continental Hotel in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. In 1937 they purchased the Standard Investing
Company and made it the company through which they ran their
hotels. Their second hotel, and the first as part of the new company,
was the Stonehaven Hotel in Springfield, Massachusetts, a converted
apartment building they purchased in 1937. The chain got its name
from a third hotel the pair acquired in Boston, which already had a
large lighted sign on the roof saying "Sheraton Hotel" that was too
expensive to change. Instead, Henderson and Moore decided to call
all their hotels by that name.

Holiday Inn is a multinational brand of hotels, which
are part of the LSE-listed InterContinental Hotels
Group. Originally a U.S. motel chain, today it is one
of the world's largest hotel chains, with 435,299
bedrooms in 3,463 hotels globally hosting over 100
million guest nights each year.[2][3] The hotel chain is
based in three cities: Atlanta, London and Rio de
Janeiro.

Holiday Inn – This is the most recognizable tier of service. There are two
distinct types: high-rise, full-service plaza hotels and low-rise, full-service
hotels. The former also included many high-rises with round, central-core
construction, instantly recognizable from the 1970s. Both offer a restaurant,
pools at most locations, room service, an exercise room, and functional but
comfortable rooms.
Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites – The properties offer all the amenities and
services of a regular Holiday Inn but consist of rooms mixed with suites.
Holiday Inn Resort – The properties also offer all the amenities and services
of a full-service Holiday Inn; resorts are considered a more of an advertising
branding than a completely different brand. Most Holiday Inn Resorts are
located in high-leisure-tourism markets.
Holiday Inn Select – These upper-range full-service hotels cater to business
travelers. In 2006 it was announced that Holiday Inn Select hotels would be
discontinued. Existing hotels may continue to operate under the Holiday Inn
Select flag until their existing license expires, however many are converting to
Crowne Plaza or regular Holiday Inn hotels, with no further marketing or
advertising based around the "Select" moniker. Several Select hotels still
remain as of 2014.

15.

Holiday Inn Sunspree Resorts (officially named SunSpree) – The
properties were in resort areas with full-service amenities and deluxe
service. These are typically very large properties. The Holiday Inn
SunSpree Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica is the only hotel that still
retains the moniker; others were incorporated as Holiday Inn Resorts.
Holiday Inn Club Vacations – These are resorts aimed at families and
are only based in the U.S. The accommodations are mostly villas and
suites.
Holiday Inn Garden Court – The properties exist only in Europe
and South Africa and are designed to reflect the national culture.
Holiday Inn Express – The properties are smaller versions of Holiday
Inn hotels with fewer amenities and services. They are very similar to
competitors like La Quinta Inn and Hampton Inn in which they appeal
to middle class customers.

Hilton Worldwide Holdings,
Inc. (formerly, Hilton Worldwide and Hilton
Hotels Corporation) is an American
globalhospitality company that manages and
franchises a broad portfolio of hotels and
resorts. Founded by Conrad Hilton in 1919, the
corporation is now led by Christopher J.
Nassetta.

17.

Many of Hilton's properties are franchised to independent operators and
companies. This business practice has proven successful in rapidly expanding
the various Hilton brands to markets all over the United States. Franchisees
must follow strict brand standards in order to maintain a licensing agreement
with Hilton Worldwide. The Hampton Inn brand is virtually 100% franchised
with the minor exception of a few properties that are corporate managed for
various reasons. All franchised hotels are regularly inspected by a Quality
Assurance Team to enforce brand standards and consistency.
The practice of franchising is popular within the hospitality industry among
most major hotel chains, especially among smaller brands with a fair number
of locations which are not feasible to be corporately owned and managed by
the company. Competitor companies, such as Marriott
International and Starwood, follow a similar business model that focuses on
franchising as a rapid expansion method.
Most of Hilton's flagship properties, airport properties, and largest resorts,
however, are corporately managed.

provide on a home away from home for its customers." The first Le
Méridien property was a 1,000-room hotel in Paris — Le Méridien
Etoile. Within two years of operation, the group had 10 hotels in
Europe and Africa. Within the first six years, the number of hotels had
risen to 21 hotels in Europe, Africa, the French West
Indies, Canada, South America, the Middle East and Mauritius. By
1991, the total number of Le Méridien properties had risen to 58. In
2011, Le Méridien opened up its 100th hotel in Coimbatore, India.
