ABOUT THE RANKING
Data for HOTELS 325 is gathered through an online survey completed by hotel company contacts reporting guestrooms and hotels open systemwide as of December 31 , 2020 . Companies that do not respond are subject to an estimate through public records , previous years ’ data , industry sources and research .
In some cases , rooms and hotels are counted more than once because HOTELS chooses to separately report data from owner-operators , managers and franchisors on the same list .
Thus , a single property that is owned by one party , managed by another and branded by a third would be counted three times . Furthermore , this ranking omits companies that exclusively or overwhelmingly own hotels ; only companies that also manage , own and operate , or franchise hotels are included .
Unfortunately , there are some inconsistencies in reporting from year to year due to discrepancies in reporting by companies listed .
