Success stories
When you work with Magnuson Hotels, you work with hotel owners. You don’t work with a brand company that expects you to shoulder the cost of promoting their brand. And, you don’t work with a tech company without customer service, who expects you, the busy owner, to fix your own marketing problems.
With over 40 years in the business as hotel owners, we understand what it means to get up early every day and sell rooms in a low cost way.
In only six years, Magnuson Hotels headquartered in Spokane, WA, has become the world’s largest independent hotel group and the 17th largest worldwide hotel company overall. Representing nearly 1,500 hotels with three brands across 50 U.S. states, Canada and the UK, Magnuson Hotels’ current combined affiliate base represents aggregate assets in excess of $4.5 billion.
Since 2003, Magnuson Hotels has added more affiliate hotels with its low cost franchise alternative than 8 out of the top 10 branded hotel chains combined including Best Western, Days Inn, Super 8 and Ramada.
