236 Brands. 9 Lodging Companies. Interactive List. April 2024.

When you were asked to test your knowledge of 213 hotel brands almost one year ago, a whopping 213 hotel and resort brands were parts of the worldwide portfolios of only nine multinational lodging companies — either through outright ownership or through a partnership — and since then, no fewer than 23 brands were added since April of 2023. For the current 236 brands of 9 lodging companies, an interactive list for April 2024 was created for your convenience instead of having you guess yet again.

236 Brands. 9 Lodging Companies. Interactive List. April 2024.

Those nine lodging companies are listed below in alphabetical order:

1. Accor Live Limitless
2. Best Western International, Incorporated
3. Choice Hotels International, Incorporated
4. Hilton
5. Hyatt Corporation
6. InterContinental Hotels Group
7. Marriott International, Incorporated
8. Radisson Hotels Group
9. Wyndham Hotel Group, LLC

The interactive list below includes 236 hotel brands, the membership programs with which they are associated, and a very brief description of the brand.

Keep in mind that the following brands participate in the Choice Privileges membership program within the United States, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean; while the same brands participate in the Radisson Rewards membership program elsewhere in the world:

• Country Inns and Suites
• Radisson
• Radisson Blu
• Radisson Collection
• Radisson Individuals
• Radisson RED
• Park Inn
• Park Plaza

In the interactive list for the aforementioned eight brands that participate in the Choice Privileges membership program, Radisson Rewards appears under the Brief Description column.

To further complicate matters, did you know that Hyatt Vacation Ownership is a division of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation?

Final Boarding Call

I did not include such lodging companies as Meliá Hotels and Resorts, which has a limited footprint; or casino companies whose brands are as few as one hotel property — but imagine how many more brands exists as a result in the lodging industry.

Should additional lodging companies and their brands be added to the list? If so, which hotel brands should be included?
