PHOENIX—BWH Hotel Group continues expanding its footprint of soft brand hotels across its portfolio. Through expansion, new launches, and acquisitions, BWH Hotel Group offers seven soft brand options ranging from economy to luxury, providing properties that suit the needs of travelers and developers.

BWH Hotel Group currently has approximately 500 active soft brand hotels and resorts worldwide, with over 110 new properties in the global pipeline. In the last four months, BWH Hotel Group has activated over 30 soft brand hotels around the world.

“The needs and preferences of today’s travelers and developers are constantly evolving, and we are committed to exceeding their expectations,” said Larry Cuculic, president and CEO, BWH Hotel Group. “I am proud of our wide-reaching portfolio, with seven soft brand offerings and 18 total brands across every chain scale segment, and I am confident that our flexible and modern hotel solutions will continue to excite developers, drive revenue to our hotels, and entice guests to experience our unique properties across the globe.”

“The growth we have seen across our portfolio of soft brands is truly outstanding and we don’t anticipate it slowing down any time soon,” said Brad LeBlanc, senior vice president and chief development officer, BWH Hotel Group. “Many soft brand properties have been fortunate to have weathered the pandemic better than their branded counterparts because these hotel options are becoming increasingly more appealing in today’s environment—developers seek more independence and creativity in their hotels while travelers look for more authentic travel experiences. As a result, soft brands will continue to be a focus for BWH Hotel Group in the months and years ahead.”
