Research Firm Ranks Top Hotel Brands

HiltonNEW YORK – The research firm Harris Interactive has released its 2010 rankings of tourism brands. There are some surprises.

Hilton is the most notable in the list and now leads Marriott. Cheap hotels are lower on the list, but luxury brands also have lower scores due to the obvious smaller market and brand familiarity. A few other observations:

  • Sadly, Econo-Lodge is at the bottom. That does not have to be, as it was once a great brand, and just needs a bit of burnishing to turn it around.We’ve got some ideas, and we might just share them.
  • Holiday Inn is up high. While I don’t like the new signage or lettering, they are making progress in revamping the brand.
  • Inter-Continental, one surviving bit of Pan American World Airways, is near the top. That’s an accomplishment.

  1. Hilton Hotels 63.00
