Hyatt to be bought out by Best Western? (Speculation / Joke)
 

Seems like the logical reaction to Accor buying Fairmont...

Well, as far as I find Le Club an inferior program as some of its competitors (HGP and SPG), Accor has very nice Sofitels and M Gallery which can compare to some Fairmont and Swissotel without problem... Nothing like Best Western or Choice...

Oh, please change the title. Add something like Speculation, or Rumor, etc.

You almost gave me a heart attack!!!:D

It had a question mark! I'm asking questions!

I prefer red roof inn or perhaps a conglomerate of hourly-rate hotels to buy it out.

.................... Where did you get this from, The Onion?

Not sure if the OP is joking, but Best Western is a pretty different business model. Like Choice, aren't all of the BW hotels franchises?

It seems like Accor has a few owned hotels (the higher-end ones) and a mix of management agreements and franchises.

+1. ^ BW is not a hotel management company. It is more like a booking service with market branding.

Note I've edited the title - we've gotten a few RBPs on the thread title. At this point it's "old" anyways so edited the title to be clear that there is no credible reports of this happening.

Peteropny - co-mod - Hyatt

Thanks Peteropny, appreciated !
 

Thanks for the moderator action. Appreciated. ^

Now I can leave this at rest :)

While Best Western is not a likely fit, I would not rule out Wyndham... To me, that is a scarier proposition.....

Oooo

Bestwestern , Wyndham, and IHG to make the new Hyatt.

Than Hyatt would be competitive against Marriott and Hilton

Say, do y'all suppose that Fairmont --Hyatt merger would have been OK? It would be cool to get free room nights in top Fairmonts for 20--25K Gold Passport points a night!

I would love that for one.
