Data for HOTELS' 325 is gathered through an online survey completed by hotel company contacts. These individuals are asked to report the number of guestrooms and hotels systemwide as of December 31, 2007. Companies that do not respond are subject to an estimate through the use of public information, previous years' data and various industry sources. All companies ranked with estimated data have an asterisk next to their numbers. In some cases, rooms and hotels are counted more than once because HOTELS chooses to separately report data from owner-operators, managers and franchisors on the same list.
