My Favorite Hotel Brands

So some of you are probably wondering what's Jordan's hotel brand? Well that question isn't fair. We have to look at the market segments separately. Its not fair to compare a limited service hotel to a full service one.


My favorite limited service brand is Hampton Inn and Suites. This brand is clean, cut, and modern. These hotels are smaller; usually from 60-120 rooms with very few exceptions. The design structure, and soft colors of the interior remind me of the south; which of course offers the best social hospitality. The brand has free wireless internet, business center, pool, hot tub, foyer space and yes even free hot breakfast. Hampton is part of the Hilton family of hotels so anyone who is a member of the Hilton Honors Program can use this brand for those quick one nighters and business to smaller cities.



My favorite full service brand is the Embassy Suites. These hotels are usually much larger and it's the only brand that requires the floor to ceiling open atrium which is beautifully decorated with live trees, plants, and water features. The brand offers free cooked-to-order breakfast, free drinks and appetizers in the evening, bell services, staffed business centers, restaurant, 24 hour room service, and yes two room suites. This hotel is also a member of the Hilton family and diamond members can use this program to get free upgrades, and extra amenities fee of charge.

My favorite upscale hotel brand would have to be the Westin Hotels and Resorts. These properties are usually resorts in tourist destinations. They have darker colors and usually more of an old world touch. This hotel brand requires an in house full service spa and usually salon. This brand also requires bedays which our lovely. If you've never tried a beday; your MISSING OUT!

When traveling I suggest you stay at these brands.
