Among the corporate chains, the big will get bigger. No question." says Arthur Adler, managing director and CEO, the Americas. Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels, New York City. HOTELS' annual ranking of the world's biggest hotel companies bears that out. The top 25 corporate hotel companies took advantage of a hot deal pace in the United States, recovery in Asia and the unbranded potential of Europe and the Middle East to grow. collectively, by about 25,000 rooms over the previous year.
Who stays on top will come down to brand power. Watch for new brand rollouts and acquisitions aimed at diversification. "There will be more consolidation as single brands try to build themselves into segment-spanning companies," says Thomas Keltner, president, brand performance and development group, Hilton Hotels Corp, Global Hyatt has already done that with the acquisition of U.S. Franchise Systems and AmeriSuites (scheduled for a new look and probably a new name by year's end).
New launches will be as important as acquisitions for companies such as InterContinental Hotels Group, which can afford to nurture its start-up, boutique-inspired Indigo, or Starwood Hotels & Resorts, which just announced a new limited-service version of its W hotels and will roll out a Westin extended-stay brand shortly as well.
"In the United States, the footprint of the big brands is saturated. Sure, there are opportunities for new builds and conversions. but not on the scale of the numbers for new limited-service and all-suites brands." says Chuck Tomb. senior vice president of development. Starwood Hotels & Resorts. Keltner disagrees on the saturation issue. "Hilton and Marriott have only 8% of the industry supply in terms of rooms. Compare that to the airlines," Keltner says.
One point that draws no argument is the potential for growth outside the United States. To capitalize, chains are going to have to be more flexible--both in their approach to the marketplace and in how they co-brand, says Jay Witzel, president and CEO, Carlson Hotels Worldwide. "India and China still are 4- and 5-star markets. That may not change for three to five years, but it will change, and that will mean more mid-tier opportunities. We are already seeing the start of that in India," Witzel says.
David Michels, CEO, Hilton Group, sees competition heating up. "It is not going to be the folks with the fastest in-room Internet who win the race. This is an old-fashioned industry. It is about service, brand, location," he says. Nor will growth outside of the United States be fueled by a something for everyone approach. "Can a chain sweat over managing 20 to 30 brands? Will the customer even remember?" he asks.
That is what makes differentiation critical to brands seeking growth--whether it be giants creating a sharper image or start-ups. "One of the biggest challenges facing chains is clear brand differentiation," says Peter Strebel, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Cendant Hotel Group. "In a time when decisions are made in a matter of seconds on the Internet, brands have become more valuable than in the past. Mass media is changing; radio and television audiences are different. The challenge is to maximize your marketing efforts to get more bang for your buck. I expect some new brands will be emerging that will capitalize on the growing younger market."
The Winners
Brands on the companies to watch list: Beyond the major players in the top ranks, Mark Wynne Smith, CEO, Europe, Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels, London, ranks NH Hoteles and Golden Tulip/TOP Hotels as noteworthy up and comers. "They are aggressive; they fight for each asset. What Golden Tulip/TOP has achieved shows it can make headway even against the large brands," Wynne Smith says.
David Katz, CIBC World Market Corp.'s director, lodging and gaming, says Starwood "appears to be winning the brands races because they seem to have a more sophisticated approach to branding and innovation." Hilton and Marriott "have indicated their portfolios are mostly complete, so growth will have to come organically, which is reasonable given positive fundamentals." Among the hungry companies in the next rank, watch LaQuinta. "They focus on the limited-service, midscale segment, which is a great value proposition and is growing by leaps and bounds," Katz says.
Adler likes the prospects for all of the giants. In the next tier, Omni and Wyndham are on his radar. But he doesn't discount the niche players. "There are reasons why Kimpton, Rosewood, One&Only and Joie de Vivre exist and will continue to exist. As long as they continue to understand their customers and their niche, they will do very well," Adler says.
From a European perspective, brands to watch are Malmaison, Premier Travel Inn, Six Senses, Staybridge Suites, Travelodge ... to name but a few, according to Russell Kett, managing director, HVS International, London.
The Losers
The most vulnerable companies for 2005 and beyond will include:
Mid-scale with food and beverage. "This sector has been contracting for the last eight to nine years. It does not resonate with consumers," Keltner says.
Brands that fail to innovate. "Some hotels are about today and yesterday. You have to be about today and tomorrow. That's the way to attract a younger market who can drastically grow your loyalty programs and drive more business," Tomb says.
Brands without a clear identity. "They are going to lose traction," Witzel says. Other trouble spots: lack of a global presence and inadequate marketing muscle.
Small, non-niche players. "If the hotel industry is to make a real impact in the world commercially, then the companies simply must get bigger and, by implications, their brands must become more prominent," Kett says. "This inevitably will lead to fewer brands but, at least from a European perspective, there are too many weak brands with no real identity or equity. Most are simply company names, not brands. So yes, acquisitions are a must; the real question is 'who is dining and who is dinner?'"

RELATED ARTICLE: About the ranking.
Data for HOTELS'325 is gathered through a questionnaire sent to company contacts, who are asked to report the number of hotels and guestrooms as of December 31,2004.
Companies that do not respond are subject to an estimate with data collected through the use of public information and various industry sources. All companies ranked with estimated data have an asterisk next to their name.
In some cases, rooms and hotels are counted more than once because HOTELS chooses to separately report data from owners, managers and franchisors on the same list. For example, Carlson Hospitality Worldwide's data includes properties managed or franchised by its joint-venture partner Rezidor SAS Hospitality, which has its own listing in the ranking.

Seminal Times For Consortia
Leverage is a big factor in who is winning and who is losing the consortia race. It is the driver behind big deals like the consolidation of VIP International and Lexington Services into the new giant, Vantis Corp. But it also is the force behind the expansion of niche players such as Design Hotels and regional consortia who are parlaying a narrowly defined portfolio into maximized reach and capture. By leveraging technology, value-added services and growing consultative service menus, the world's top 25 consortia reached 3,594,742 rooms as of December 31, 2004, or 259,321 more rooms than year-end 2003.
Watch for the fastest-growing consortia to expand their support services, particularly with the rollout of revenue and yield management programs, training programs and initiatives to help members work through the complexities of market demand and channel distribution models. "Companies focusing only on transactions rather than creating or leveraging the buying relationship will become a rare breed. Hotels needs and want a marketing and sales partner to grow their business," says Tom Griffiths, WORLDHOTELS' vice president--the Americas.
Kelly Blake, Vantis' president and CEO, predicts the next few years will be good for the forward-looking consortia as the Internet provides ways for independent hotels to compete against brands. "The emphasis on vertical search will enable independent hoteliers to reach individual consumers in a way that negates the need for a brand," says Blake. Small companies without a clearly defined niche or the funds to keep pace with new technology may be the most vulnerable. "Each new generation of technology stimulates early adopters who forge ahead and rave about the results," Blake says. This year, Blake says, early adopters will center their attention on revenue management system technology, customer relationship management and data mining.
Consortia will have to continue to reinvent themselves if they want to stay on this growth track, says Paul McManus, CEO, Leading Hotels of the World. "Relevancy is a major issue. Can certain consortia rise above being fraternal organizations or clubs and demonstrate through a solid business plan that are viable, relevant, going concerns?" McManus asks. He also says consortia will have to create new relationships with technology providers who consider them an impediment to the hotel relationship. To expand their clout, expect more consortia "to make their presence felt" in the Internet world with new partnerships and alliances.
