Choice Hotels International has gone public with its bid to acquire Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, and Wyndham's board of directors has rejected the offer, leaving the prospects of a deal up in the air. Still, it's tempting to imagine what a combined company would look like.
To get a better idea of where Choice and Wyndham, both dominant forces in the economy and midscale brand segments, fit into the publicly traded hotel brand company landscape, HNN compiled each company's open and pipeline figures as reported in their second-quarter earnings calls.
The infographic below compares those figures to those of Marriott International, Hilton, Hyatt Hotels Corp., IHG Hotels & Resorts and Accor. It also shows what a combined Choice and Wyndham would look like based on the latest available numbers on hotels both in development and in operation.
