For travellers

A brand name tells you the service standard, not the condition of the room. Two hotels under the same flag can be decades apart in freshness. Each brand page ranks that chain's properties by how recently they were actually renovated — so you can pick the freshest one in your city, not just any hotel under the flag.

For suppliers

FF&E suppliers and contractors often sell into a single brand. Each brand page surfaces which of that chain's hotels are approaching their renovation cycle or are already under renovation — a ready-made account list for the Renovation Radar.

Frequently asked — hotel brands

What's the difference between a hotel brand and a hotel chain?+

A chain — or hotel group — is the parent company that operates many brands: Marriott, Hilton, IHG and Accor are groups. A brand is the flag on the door: Sheraton, Hampton, Holiday Inn, Novotel. People search for a “hotel brand list” because the brand is what they actually book. HotelChrono lists each brand and ranks its hotels by how recently they were renovated.

How many hotel brands does this directory cover?+

This directory currently lists 36 hotel brands with enough tracked properties to compare — 533 hotels in total — from luxury flags like Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons and Mandarin Oriental to large-scale groups like Holiday Inn, ibis and Best Western. Open any brand to see its full portfolio ranked by Chrono Score.

Does the same brand guarantee the same room condition?+

No. Two hotels under the same brand can be decades apart in freshness — a flag standardises service, not the age of the fit-out. That's why each brand page ranks properties by their actual last-renovation year, not by the star rating.

Can I see which of a brand's hotels are due for renovation?+

Yes. Every brand page flags hotels approaching their renovation cycle or already under works. FF&E suppliers and contractors use it as a ready-made account list inside the Renovation Radar.
