SPOKANE, WA | Magnuson Hotels, the world’s largest independent hotel group, announced today over 400 midscale, upper midscale and upper economy US & Canadian hotels are currently in the Magnuson brand conversion pipeline.

Representing nearly 1000 hotels across the US & Canada, Magnuson Hotels provides complete brand representation in all major US and Canadian markets and market segments without the costs & requirements of franchise brand affiliation.

Facing the dual struggle of decreased travel demand & rising franchise/brand fees, branded Magnuson hotel owners are increasing total hotel revenue without paying royalties or marketing fees on walk-up and direct revenue.

“All walk-up and direct revenue earned by hotels as a result of their own hard work remains royalty-free,” stated Thomas R. Magnuson, company CEO/Principal.

To further reduce costs for owners, brand rebate checks were delivered this week to Magnuson Hotels brand affiliates. The rebates are performance driven; tied to documented reservations produced through Magnuson Hotels’ complete global reservations system.

Magnuson Hotels adds that the fastest growing segment of the surge is Ex-Westerns, former Best Western owners seeking independence from the increasing costs of major brand association.
