Chekitan S. Dev | January 22, 2020
By Chekitan S. Dev and Eva Steiner Dual branding of hotels has become a growing industry practice. Beyond the potential marketing benefits of the dual-branding strategy, this paper tests whether dual-branded hotels operate more efficiently than comparable single-branded hotels (and therefore deliver better bottomline results). Comparing a proprietary longitudinal data set on the operating performance generated by dual-branded hotels in the U.S. against a set of comparable single-branded hotels, we document mixed results. While dual- and single-branded hotels achieve similar occupancy percentages, dual-branded hotels generate higher avera...

Often they share back-of-house operations, guest amenities and even staff. Pioneered by AccorHotels 30 years ago, the concept is now growing steadily a...
Where Two Hotel Brands Are Better Than One
JLL Real Views | May 11, 2016
By Neasa MacErlean Building one strong brand has long been a basic rule in running a successful hotel – but some operators are now looking to improve margins by running two brands on the same property. Late next summer a new dual branded hotel is due to open in downtown Denver – even if many of the guests who stay there will be unaware of what makes it rather special.

These two brands were owned by separate companies, Le Méridien by Starwood and AC Hotels b...
