BWH Hotels to unite more than 4,000 hotels under WorldHotels
BWH Hotels plans to bring more than 4,000 hotels under WorldHotels as its global master brand.
The US-headquartered group’s hotels span 100 countries and 18 brands, covering luxury, boutique, upscale, extended-stay and economy stays.
Individual hotels will keep their existing names and identities, while the group unifies its brands, loyalty programmes and digital platforms.
The change follows research showing that travellers knew only part of the group’s portfolio, and is intended to make its hotels easier to find and access.
In India, the group operates 34 hotels and has 26 more in development, and it says it wants to grow its presence.
WorldHotels Rewards is set to launch on January 5 next year, alongside a redesigned website and mobile app.
