I understand why you’re curious in the responses, but the question is missing the actual logic in our hotel selections. I spent 6 months in rural Wisconsin - I could have had unlimited budget and it wouldn’t matter, a Courtyard Marriott was my only option. Same with Omaha and my time in NC. Yes we all get to stay in fancy hotels sometimes, but more often that not we aren’t in big cities where that’s even an option.

Depends on the city. Highlight for me at Deloitte was the Atlanta Ritz

As a digital-focused consultant (mostly major cities), I am a huge hyatt person - Thompson Chicago has a deal with Lexus where they will just toss you the keys to an LC500 and let you loose for 4 hours, almost no paperwork. LS500 house car, too, so you can roll up to client site💀💀

like

Mostly mainline Marriotts with the occasional Ritz thrown in when there was a good deal.

Big4 almost exclusively Langham NYC, Langham Chicago, & Langham Boston. Beyond that usually boutiques or four seasons if available.

Boutique - Sheraton, Westin , marriott

Ritz Carlton.

Motel 6 always

Mostly JWs here
