Homewood Suites La Quinta By Joe Brancatelli Throughout 2009, the hotel industry was awash in waves of property openings just as occupancy rates and nightly room rates were collapsing. That was an accident of timing since the hotel pipeline tends to be planned 2-3 years in advance and can’t be plugged when business turns south. But 2010...

By Joe Brancatelli Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers Starwood prides itself on trendy brands like Westin and W hotels , but it is also saddled with Sheraton , one of the least consistent of the old-line hotel names. Starwood says it is pumping $6 billion into an overhaul of Sheraton and has taken the Sheraton name off nearly three dozen hotels...

Enjoy a stay at the new Hilton Gdansk in Gdansk, Poland. By Joe Brancatelli Big hotel chains looking to expand are increasingly looking around the world for opportunities.

Flamenco Beach (Photo: Lena Katz) By Lena Katz You don’t exactly swim in the limpid blue-green sea off the shore of Puerto Rico’s famous Flamenco Beach; you bob like a cork. The warm, calm water and soft sand make this one of the most swimmable beaches in the Western Hemisphere — and hardly trafficked compared with others of its stature....

By Joe Brancatelli If you have any doubt at all that hotel chains are getting as good as the airlines at playing shell games with their frequency programs, you can disabuse yourself of that quaint notion.

Andaz Wall Street By Joe Brancatelli No major chain is more poorly represented in the New York hotel market than Hyatt.
