Business Travel News 2010 U.S. Hotel Survey Brand Rankings

Ritz-Carlton, Le Meridien, Crowne Plaza, and Hampton Inn take top place in their respective hotel market segments of luxury, upper upscale, upscale, and midscale. So we have Marriott, Starwood, InterContinental Hotels Group, and Hilton ready to take the survey results to the PR market for 2010.

    Never considered Four Points to be “upscale”… Seems the Starwood brands are competing one level above where they should be.

    I am surprised by Hyatt Place and Hampton Inn being in a different category. I would have expected both to be in the lowest category (don’t get me wrong, I like Hyatt Places).

    Also a bit surprising: they just lump all other Hyatts together. Park Hyatt, Grant Hyatt, Hyatt Regency… are they really not worth differentiating?

    Good points on market segments. I would tend to place Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn, Hyatt Place, Four Points, and Courtyard all together in the same market segment.

    Many Holiday Inn Hotels could be in upscale.

    I think the food and beverage factor is the main differentiation for midscale properties.

    Hampton Inns do not have restaurants which can be found in HGI, Hyatt Place, Four Points, and Courtyard.
