Category:Hotels by owner[edit]

Hotels here are grouped by chain / brand, not by owner. This is a useful category, but inappropriately named, as most individual hotels would be owned by real estate funds or local owners who are not related to the hotel chain other than by the franchise / management contract for said property.

 Agree. The name "by owner" is not correct. There are the categories Category:Hotels chains and Category:Hotels by name for this kind of subcats. --DenghiùComm (talk) 07:35, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, can we move all contents to Hotel chains? --Jordiferrer (talk) 13:15, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not opposed exactly, but I'm not 100% sure either. en:InterContinental Hong Kong seems to be part of the InterContinental hotel chain, but is apparently owned by someone else. Is Category:Accor hotels‎ a chain, even though they don't have any hotels named Accor (but they do own other hotel chains like Category:Hotel Ibis‎ and Category:Novotels? There are actually a lot of weird examples like this if you look through the list. Should a number of different and differently named hotels that happen to be owned by the same company necessarily be considered a chain? I'm not so sure. A lot of the categories in Category:Hotels by owner are certainly chains, so I've copied them there. Perhaps some should actually be moved. Or perhaps Category:Hotels by brand would be better than Category:Hotel chains anyway? Thoughts? - Themightyquill (talk) 15:29, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Agree Most all of the contents of this category are belong in Category:Hotel chains, not this index category. The only categories that should be found here are "Hotels of owner" or "owner hotels". All others should be moved to Category:Hotels or Category:Hotel chains as appropriate and if there is nothing left, this category should be deleted. @Themightyquill: you are right, if Category:Accor hotels existed, it would belong here, though not sure such a grouping would be valuable, as you noted.

 Agree hotel industry was divided between ownership and manager, so Hotels by owner, does it means hotel building by owner or hotel building by the brand or hotel building by the operator (note, operator can use licensed/franchised brand)? In the current content of the cat, it seem overlap with Category:Hotel chains. Matthew hk (talk) 18:03, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Themightyquill: , for InterContinental Hong Kong, the building structure was owned by New World Development and the building structure was used by multiple brands. Zh-wiki article is full of unsoucrced statements, but it seem showing InterContinental did acquired the building structure as well as managing it. However, it will soon renamed back to Regent Hongkong (or some sort). Matthew hk (talk) 18:03, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@PrinceGloria, Jordiferrer, DenghiùComm, Themightyquill, and Matthew hk: Closed (merge Category:Hotels by owner into Category:Hotel chains) Josh (talk) 16:49, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
