mania Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Really... really ugly.Nothing about it makes me want to stay there. They tried way too hard to be EDGY and it ended up looking mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I guess they want to be confused with the Marriott chain of lodging.At least they are keeping the iconic "H". But I miss the old Las Vegas-type signs with neon and lighted marquee.Overall, a "meh". It definitely looks more upscale, but that seems to go against their traditional clientele.

dfwabel Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 I think they want the "H" to me in movement. Moving to assist those who stay.Aside: I think I have heard "Breathe Me" by Sia numerous times on their ESPN special on Boise State. I am in my office, but hear it in through the speakers. I saw Sia last night at the SF Filmore, so I know the d@mn tune. REally good show and I did get get handsy with an unknown girl.I really don't care about hotels. I have the cards for each major property, and Hyatt generally give upgrades earlier. And that was before they bought the AmeriSuites and Summerfield Suites chains. Before they had poor US locations, plus since htey are privately owned and family squabbles aside, the family is a large supporter of the DNC (sorry NJTank). And don't look up Hyatt family and be satisfied since Hyatt is NOT the family's name, unlike Hilton and Marriott, both publically held companies. The family name is..... Pritzker! Bitches!

bigreid07 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I think it has the potential to really work for them. I think it's pretty catchy, and has a good change to stand in the forefront of their consumers' evoked set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Meningocele Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 My very first thought upon seeing that was, "rental car".That's probably not what they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshawaggie Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I think Holiday Inn is recognizeable enough with their font that the CAN get away with using the 'H'... it doens't mean they should though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jed36 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 It's better than the Radisson logo. http://www.molinecentre.org/images/radisson_logo.JPGI was a supplier when this change was announced, I thought it was a joke. This is ok, they needed to do this, but upgrading their hotels was needed more. Have you noticed all the Holiday Inns are changing to other brands? They finally got smart and kicked out the properties that were run down. About time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is ok, they needed to do this, but upgrading their hotels was needed more. Have you noticed all the Holiday Inns are changing to other brands? They finally got smart and kicked out the properties that were run down. About timeThey became big because they were franchised. It is much easier to change a hotel affiliation and their sheets than an restaurant. Many US Hyatt properties have changed over in the past 24 months. The same with Hiltons, Starwoods and ICG (Parent Company of Holiday Inns). Marriott has a great system of franchising within themselves, so ownership changes are less transparent. Hyatt has been dumping US properties, under the Hyatt name, like crazy/ since they are a privately owned company, they are looking towards international markets. They have sold 2 L.A hotels and ! Sn Fran property in the last 18 months. The Park Hyatt SF was across from Moscone Center and always full (top 3 of greatest rooms I've been in w/o upgrade).
