In 2009, Hilton decided it was time to shake up the extended-stay hotel market. It had been 20 years since they launched a new hotel brand, and they saw an opportunity to serve long-term travelers differently.

Two years later, the first Home2 Suites property opened, built around a simple idea: give travelers more space, more comfort, and more amenities without the luxury price tag.

Instead of traditional hotel layouts, Home2 Suites focused on suite-style rooms with kitchenettes, flexible furniture, pet-friendly policies, and community-centered spaces like fire pits and outdoor grills. They even introduced “Spin2Cycle,” a combined fitness center and laundry room concept designed for extended stays.

Fast forward to today, and the brand has grown rapidly. As of December 2023, there were 595 hotels open. In 2024, they added 68 more, bringing the total to 663 U.S. locations. What’s unique? Zero company-owned properties. Every single Home2 Suites location is franchisee-owned. So, let's see what it takes to own one of your own..👇
