Our business model focuses on managing and franchising hotels, whilst our business partners own the bricks and mortar.
Franchising
This is the largest part of our business: 3,949 hotels operate under franchise agreements.
Managing
We manage 649 hotels worldwide.
Owning
We own 9 hotels worldwide (less than 1% of our portfolio).
