Lodging Brands

The hotel and resort lodging brands directory, is our always-updated list of major branded lodging products of the top international lodging companies.

For more than a century, the global lodging industry has been creating distinctive or simply innovative hotel properties, growing brands, acquiring brands, joint venturing, and consolidating within parent company holdings.   Almost every multi-brand parent company for hotel brands, is itself a result of myriad of dealmaking that makes the story of each brand rather difficult to compile.

Today, the array of lodging brands may be at an all-time high due to very particular product offerings intended for specific guest segments.

The major hotel operating companies have created numerous lodging products to meet specific stay requirements of specific traveler segments.

This history and directory has been helpful to us over the years, to keep track of hotel management companies and their brands, as they may be suited to development and operating opportunities.   An example is California’s coast resort market, where almost 100 hotels are situated along the 840 mile-long California coastline.

We thought we’d share – we’re inputting now and double-checking for any changes since our 2019 update.  Check back soon as this directory grows.   Also, there are links below to additional lodging brands – for glamping and eco-resorts and for recreation adventure resorts.
