Ramada
We provide the Ramada hotel brand for transient guest lodging, with locations designed to serve travelers looking for comfortable, mid- to upper-mid-market accommodations. Our hotels offer interior-corridor rooms and typically include flexible food and beverage options, complimentary high-speed internet, business services, and fitness facilities. The Ramada Plaza format adds a larger, more full-service hotel experience with at least 150 guest rooms, restaurants, banquet and meeting space, a cocktail lounge where permitted, a boardroom, and exercise facilities. We focus on single-location hotels that use the Ramada system and brand standards to deliver a consistent guest experience.
