BWH Hotels adopts WorldHotels as global masterbrand

BWH Hotels WorldHotels Best Western hospitality industry loyalty program

BWH Hotels has announced a comprehensive enterprise transformation, adopting WorldHotels as its global masterbrand. This strategic shift aims to unite more than 4,000 hotels and 18 brands across 100 countries under a single identity to increase portfolio awareness and digital growth.

As part of this evolution, the company will launch a unified loyalty program, WorldHotels Rewards, on January 5, 2027. This new program will consolidate Best Western Rewards and the existing WorldHotels Rewards, serving approximately 70 million members. The new system will feature a simplified three-tier membership structure while preserving existing benefits, such as status matching and non-expiring points.

While WorldHotels will serve as the masterbrand, individual hotel identities, signage, and brand names—including Best Western, Best Western Plus, and SureStay—will remain unchanged. The company is also introducing the WorldHotels Collection to group its high-end and luxury independent properties. To support the transition, BWH Hotels is upgrading its digital infrastructure, including a new website and redesigned mobile application.
