Frequently Asked Questions
01What is a hotel brand?
A hotel brand is a named style of hotel with consistent standards, design and service, such as a luxury, lifestyle or budget concept. Most brands belong to a larger hotel group that runs several brands at different price points.
02What is the difference between a hotel group and a brand?
The group is the company, for example Marriott International, Accor or IHCL. The brand is what you see on the building, such as Ritz-Carlton, Novotel or Taj. One group can own dozens of brands, from luxury to economy.
03Are brand hotels owned by the brand?
Often not. Many branded hotels are owned by investors and run under a franchise or management agreement with the hotel group, which sets the brand standards and runs the loyalty programme.
04What do luxury, upscale, midscale and economy mean?
They are industry price and service tiers. Luxury brands offer the most space and personal service, upscale brands full facilities, midscale brands comfortable essentials with some extras, and economy brands simple rooms at low prices.
05Can I earn hotel loyalty points when I book through HotelSelects?
It depends on the brand and the rate. Many loyalty programmes only award points on stays booked directly or on eligible rates, so check the programme rules if points matter more to you than price.
