OUR SURVEY OF THE BIGGEST TO THE SMALLEST LODGING COMPANIES, AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN.
If it’ s HOTELS Magazine’ s July / August issue, it means“ The List,” our comprehensive global survey of hotel companies by total number of rooms and properties.
As was the case last year, Marriott International remains the king with more than 1.7 million rooms worldwide, though Jin Jiang International is hot on its heels with more than 1.5 million rooms. But when it comes to total properties, Jin Jiang claims the crown with more than 15,000 hotels.
Spots 3, 4 and 5 remain unchanged from last year, with Hilton, H World and IHG Hotels & Resorts, respectively, but there was a flip in spot 6, with Accor slightly edging out Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
On the brand side, Chinese giant H World commands 1st and 2nd place with its brands Ji Hotel and Hanting Hotel, at more than 400,000 and 390,000 rooms, respectively. U. S. lodging company Hilton and its Hampton brand remain in 3rd place with more than 355,000 rooms worldwide.
And when it comes to total properties globally, China’ s Jin Jiang is the victor with more than 15,000 hotels, followed by H World at more than 12,800. Total room count leader Marriott comes in 3rd with more than 9,500 hotels worldwide.
