Daryon Hotels International announced the launch of Federation of Independent Hotels, an initiative to support independent hotels across the U.S. The Federation is aiming to increase the visibility of these hotels and their success, as they offer travelers a unique and localized experience.
Independent hotels account for about 30% of U.S. lodging. They range from budget to luxury accommodations. These hotels are distinguished by the focus on personalized, localized hospitality. They offer an alternative to the more standard experiences offered by branded properties, which make up 70% of the market.
Daryon Hotels International spokesperson said that independent hotels have been a part of the hospitality sector for a long time, providing guests with a unique, community-oriented experience.
“The rise in digital booking platforms helped these hotels increase visibility and compete more successfully with larger brands.”
Independent hotels can now better reach travelers who are looking for unique experiences thanks to the increased use of digital tools. Nearly 24,000 independent hotels are spread across the country. Many of these properties can now be accessed by travelers more easily than ever.
Independent hotels still face challenges despite their progress, especially in securing funding. Many banks have been reluctant in offering loans due to perceived risk. Some financial institutions are now beginning to see the potential in well-managed independent properties, which have lower operating costs than franchises. This has led investors to become more interested in these hotels.
The Federation of Independent Hotels was created by DHI to provide a free platform that allows hoteliers to list their properties and gain visibility. Hoteliers can become members of the Federation by visiting FedIndie.com. DHI offers optional management services for independent hotels at competitive fees.
The spokesperson said that the Federation of Independent Hotels was more than a listing platform.
“It’s an initiative designed to empower independent owners of hotels to thrive in a market dominated by large brands.”
We ensure that these hotels continue to provide exceptional experiences to travelers by providing them with tools, resources and support.
