I'll be honest - even the re-launched ones aren't quite there. More often than not they are hampered by floorplan limitations. Additionally I've noticed that IHG definitely lowered the bar on the re-launches. Its not like an old HI could get the "H" without doing anything but in some cases I'm not seeing the sort of re-fits like I used to.

Still HIs do offer value and they feed into the PC promo system!
