Hyatt
Hyatt was founded in 1957 when Jay Pritzker purchased the Hyatt House motel near Los Angeles International Airport, and the Pritzker family built the company into a major international hotel chain over subsequent decades while maintaining significant family ownership and control. The company became particularly known for pioneering the modern atrium-style hotel lobby design, introduced at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta in 1967, featuring a dramatic multi-story open interior space that became widely copied across the hotel industry and remains closely associated with Hyatt's architectural identity. Hyatt has positioned itself with a somewhat smaller, more selectively curated portfolio of hotel brands compared to larger competitors like Marriott and Hilton, while pursuing significant acquisitions including Two Roads Hospitality and Apple Leisure Group to expand its luxury and all-inclusive resort offerings. Hyatt's combination of its sustained Pritzker family ownership and its pioneering atrium-style hotel architecture has made it one of the most architecturally influential hotel chains in the industry's history.
VS
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG)
InterContinental Hotels Group traces its corporate lineage back to Bass Brewery, a British brewing company that entered the hotel business in the 1980s before eventually rebranding entirely around its hospitality operations and taking the IHG name in 2003. The company's flagship InterContinental brand traces to 1946, when Pan American World Airways founded the chain specifically to provide hotel accommodations for its airline passengers traveling to destinations lacking adequate existing lodging options. IHG operates one of the largest hotel franchise networks in the world by total room count, and its Holiday Inn brand, acquired as part of the company's portfolio, became one of the most recognized budget-to-midscale hotel brands in American road trip and highway travel culture throughout the mid-to-late 20th century. IHG's combination of its unusual origins as a British brewing company and its ownership of both the InterContinental luxury brand and the culturally significant Holiday Inn has made it one of the most structurally distinctive major hotel companies in the industry.
