I would bet money that the Le Meridien at John Wayne Airport will be a reflag of the Renaissance, which was a Meridien from its opening in 1985 until 1995.

This would make sense given Delano is an Accor brand and doesn’t fit well with the MGM/Marriott deal. Nomad at Park MGM needs to be rebranded as well given that was specifically excluded from the Hilton deal.

The Sheraton Columbus Hotel at Capitol Square has been debranded, and is now The Plaza Hotel Columbus at Capitol Square. It's still within Marriott, not sure if it'll be assigned to another brand:
