Image Credit: Best Western Hotels
The Best Western sign is familiar to almost any American driver. It means affordable, reliable and no-frills. What it doesn't suggest is luxury boutique hotels in Bangkok, a centuries-old city square in Belgium or a wellness retreat in the Mexican highlands. All three fall under the same parent company most travelers have never heard of.
BWH Hotels operates Best Western Hotels & Resorts, WorldHotels and SureStay Hotels, with more than 4,300 properties spread across 100 countries. Its portfolio covers budget roadside stops and five-star independent hotels, all connected by the same loyalty program on both ends.
