Hawthorn Suites is a chain of hotels in the United States owned by Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. Most Hawthorn Suites offer amenities such as meeting rooms, exercise facilities, swimming pools, and a free hot buffet breakfast and dinner. It competes with Hilton's Homewood Suites, Hyatt's Hyatt House, Marriott's Residence Inn, and InterContinental's Staybridge Suites in the upper moderate to low upscale segment of the extended-stay market. Since Hawthorn is not an entirely exclusive extended-stay brand, however, it may also compete with Marriott's SpringHill Suites and Comfort Suites in the non-extended-stay, all-suite segment of the market. As of December 31, 2018, it has 110 properties with 10,633 rooms.[1]
History
The chain was founded in 1983 in Austin, Texas by Hawthorn Property Group, a real estate company based in Chicago, Illinois. The chain's first properties were in and around Austin, with two of them having been acquired from the Austin-based Brookhollow chain in 1985.[2]
