What is your favorite hotel brand overall? And if your favorite hotel happens to not be a chain brand, what is it (specify out of interest)?

Waldorf Astoria

Can a mod move this to the lounge?

I should've included Hyatt in the poll options but I've never stayed at one of their hotels.

4 Seasons, but I only stayed there once since it really really expensive. Disney World hotels are really nice too

I think Holiday Inns have really good value + they almost always give you a good breakfast in the morning. I've always had good experiences with them.

Marriott's are really nice but they're more expensive. Marriotts sometimes have really, really great locations (I was very lucky to stay in the Times Square one once & it was a great experience - recommend it so long as you know that it's extremely expensive & needs to be planed months in advance as a special thing to do).

marriott. best western is the best cheap hotel chain though

I'm in love with Holiday Inn, it's comfort without going over budget. Honestly, it's not like I spend a lot of time inside my hotel room when I'm out, so why spend the extra cash for extra luxuries I probably won't take advantage of?

Marriott

Embassy and Hilton.

The Embassy I stay at in Chicago is always so welcoming and warm when you arrive.

I love Best Western!
And the only Mariott i've stayed at is the Dubai one, it's still pretty cool though.

This is exactly how I view it. I'm someone who doesn't like to spend a ton of time in a hotel on vacation.

I've never stayed at a Hilton, and only once in a Sheraton.

I don't like hotels that much, I actually always use apartments.

fff all these fancy hotels that I've never stayed in.
Though I've stayed in Holiday Inn and the breakfast was good.

Where is 4 Seasons on the poll? They slay all the choices on the poll. JW Marriott, from the poll then.

Boutique hotels are the nicest, in my opinion. They are very nice, with a unique local flavor at each location, without being particularly expensive. Some of the best are part of the KIMPTON HOTELS company.

Four Seasons, their executive suites >>>>>>

I don't mind the Hilton, although their older hotels are outdated and in need of a major referb
