Best Western Hotels is a large worldwide hotel chain that was best known for just being Best Western. About ten or so years ago they added in Best Western Plus and Best Western Premier brands to help distinguish some of their hotels. And then over the past four or so years they decided to follow the other major hotel chains with expanding the brands to meet specific travel needs. There are now 18 brands associated with Best Western:
Most of their hotels in Canada still fall under Best Western, BW Plus, BW Premier and BW Premier Collection but has recently expanded to incldue Glo, SureStay, BW Signature Collection and Executive Residency.
