Meet the Ex-Westerns -
America's Fastest Growing Hotel Group.

Sixty years ago, a group of struggling motel owners banded together to create a referral system to simply increase reservations.  They called themselves the “best of the west,” and soon renamed officially as Best Western.

Over the last 60 years the name grew worldwide.  But the organization has evolved through so many CEOs and boards of directors, that today its mission would be unrecognizable to the visionaries who started it all. 

Meet the Ex-Westerns, a growing number of owners declaring independence from financially crushing brand fees. With a back to basics mission no different from the Californians of 1946, Ex-Westerns are appearing nationwide, all focused upon receiving more business at less cost.

If you have been looking for a way to increase revenue, reduce costs and regain the thrill of running your hotel your way, you have come to the right place.

The Best is yet to come.
