Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

The World’s Most Valuable Hotel Brands

Hilton Nay Pyi Taw


The leading brand valuation and strategy consultancy Brand Finance evaluated and ranked the most powerful and valuable hotel brands.
Hilton is by far the most valuable brand, with a value of US$7.8 billion up by a third on last year’s value of US$5.8 billion. Hilton is also the most valuable group in the table. Six Hilton Worldwide brands feature in the top 50, totaling US$13.3 billion from Hilton at the top of the table to the Waldorf Astoria, which props up the bottom of the table in 50th. This is a hugely impressive feat for a brand with just one location. Its brand value stands at over US$200 million.
Marriott is in second place with a brand value of US$5.3 billion. Its group has even more brands in the top 50 than Hilton, with 8 in total, however their combined value is lower, at US$12 billion. Having already acquired the Delta group of hotels, Marriott is attempting to merge with Starwood, the third most significant group by brand value, its six brands being valued at US$6.7 billion.
This move would create the world’s biggest hotel group with the most valuable brand portfolio. However Marriott continues to be frustrated and outbid by Anbang Insurance Group, a Chinese insurance conglomerate.
Brand Finance Chief Executive David Haigh commented, “As disruptors such as Airbnb create an ever more challenging environment for traditional operators, a new wave of investment from the likes of Anbang Insurance Groups is to be welcomed, however frustrating it may seem. Brand investment in particular is key in this fast-changing environment.”
