In my opinion, there is a market gap in the hotel business:
1) there are five star hotels, each designed through and through by an architect, each tailored to the location, the culture, each hotel something special and therefore something to enjoy.
2) but in 4-Star hotel chains, they are all just... dull. the same thing all over again and all over again and all over again. neutral boring stuff.

I would think that there must be a chain where you can collect points, but still get a very special impression and design in every different location! Something to look forward to, something to remember! Why not? Does anyone know a chain like that?
Not any of the major ones.
My employer's policy is cheapest hotel in the city on your preferred chain.
Most of the time they are 3/4*.
(Although one time I had to stay at an airport location, and transport was provided on the subway.)
