Sonesta launched Sonesta Franchising, its expanded global hotel franchising organization, in 2021 and now has more than 1,100 hotels worldwide across 13 brands. Working with franchisees has been critical to its growth. However, “ I was adamant that working with the company meant not having to deal with the sometimes-onerous brand standards lodging companies exact. We are trying to make brand standards and PIPs that don’t drive franchisees out of business.”
