World’s largest hotel chain adds another
Best Western International, already the world’s largest hotel chain operating under a single brand name, announced its 4,200th property.
It’s a 50-room Best Western Chester inn & Suites in Richmond, Va.
Said David Kong, president and CEO:
“As we prepare our 60th anniversary in 2006, we continue to look ahead with an eye toward innovation and a commitment to customer care, led by the entrepreneurial spirit of our membership.”
