2. BW 1289 hotels -- 87,017 rooms
3. IHG 554 hotels -- 86,084 rooms
Followed by
4. Group de louvre (part of Starwood Capital)
5. NH
6. Sol Melia
7. Carlson
8. TUI
9. Hilton
10. Whitbread
Quantity does not mean quality. I prefer Hyatt and Hilton properties when traveling in Europe. As a Diamond, they treat me extremely well. What does the other properties provide complimentary?
