TOP OF THE TOP
Top of the Top is a handy resource hotel executives can use to get a grasp on the leaders of the industry. If you're contemplating a brand or management company for a new property you're building or one you've acquired, or if you need purchasing or design help, this is the place to look.
Each year, the editors of Lodging Hospitality compile lists of the leaders in key disciplines — branding, management, development, design and purchasing — and publishes them in print and online at www.LHonline.com. To compile the lists, we survey hundreds of hotel companies and vendors to pinpoint the leaders in each field.
The Top Brands report covers the 50 largest (by room count) brand-name chains in the U.S. The Top Management Companies report lists the largest companies that operate hotel properties under names and brands other than their own. Other reports cover Owners & Developers, Hospitality Designers and Purchasing Giants.
We want to know if we've missed any important companies or if you have suggestions for different lists or ways of presenting the material. We welcome all suggestions by contacting Ed Watkins, editor, at ewatkins@penton.com
