BWH Hotels – Company Profile

BWH Hotels is an international hotel group headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, and the umbrella brand for the three global brand families including Best Western Hotels & Resorts, WorldHotels Collection and SureStay Hotel Group with a global network of approximately 4,500 independent hotels in over 100 countries and territories worldwide. The umbrella brand BWH Hotels formed in 2019 in wake of Best Western Hotels & Resorts’ acquisition of WorldHotels Collection. The newly created global brand architecture thus preserves the independent main brands while also reflecting the merger under one roof.

BWH Hotels Central Europe GmbH, based in Eschborn near Frankfurt am Main, Germany, supports a total of around 230 hotels* in ten countries, including Germany, Croatia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Hungary. In addition to the Central European headquarter in Eschborn, the group runs a regional office in Vienna, Austria.


Compelling Brands for All Segments
All of the group' s conference, city and leisure hotels ensure globally defined quality standards, while simultaneously retaining their individual style and independence. Overall, the BWH Hotels brand family includes both full brands and collections for all categories worldwide. Thus, BWH Hotels offers 19 hotel brands that meet the requirements and needs of hotel developers and guests around the globe. The global brand umbrella of BWH Hotel Group includes the brands Best Western, Best Western Plus and Best Western Premier, as well as Sure Hotel and Sure Hotel Plus (outside Europe: SureStay and SureStay Plus). In addition, BWH Hotel Group offers the two lifestyle brands Vib and Glo, Sadie, Aiden as well as the three longstay concepts Home by BWH, Executive Residency and Sure Hotel Studio. In addition to these so-called full brands, Best Western also offers collections for brand-independent hotels in all categories, which exclusively use the sales and marketing solutions of the global network. These collections include the Sure Hotel Collection, the BW Signature Collection and the exclusive BW Premier Collection.
