- AC Hotels

- Cambria Hotels & Suites
- Element
- Hilton Garden Inn

Upper Midscale
- Hampton Inn
- Home2 Suites
Tru by Hilton is not yet categorized by STR due to the first hotel in brand opening only last week. STR chain scale ratings are based on actual average room rates data. Tru by Hilton is marketed as a midscale brand, but may end up being in the Upper Midscale category if higher rates are sustainable.
Market trends look to be focused on lower segment brands.
I am surprised to not see Holiday Inn Express in this top 10 list. That brand grows an additional property about every other day. I suppose they are existing USA hotels simply rebranding and not new build HIX hotels.
