The Top 10 Worldwide Hotel Brands (Think Cheap)

Who rules the hotel world when it comes to the number of rooms? It's not some fancy place with bath butlers, that's for sure. The top brand worldwide is Best Western. (A roadside motel in America, a fancy schmancy place in China.) It's joined in the top 10 by other humble offerings such as Super 8, Comfort Inn, Day's Inn, and Holiday Inn Express. The bright side of this is, all of these just listed let you log on the Internet for no extra charge. Maybe bigger is better.

Here's the full list, from an industry article on room growth in eHotelier.

1) Best Western
2) Holiday Inn
3) Marriott
4) Comfort Inn
5) Hilton
6) Days Inn
7) Holiday Inn Express
8) Hampton Inn
9) Sheraton
10)Super 8

Best Western has 315,401 rooms in 4164 hotels worldwide, while Hilton has 172,605 rooms from only 498 hotels. Among the sea of motel and budget brands in top 20, Hyatt comes in at 15, Radisson comes in at 17, and Crowne Plaza at 19.
