Red Roof Inn properties are distinguished by the large dark-red shingle roof that gives them their name. Red Roof has over 650 properties globally, primarily in the Midwest, Southern, and Eastern United States. Red Roof Inn is a pet-friendly hotel chain.[1] HistoryThe earliest iteration of the Red Roof Inn was founded in Columbus, Ohio, in 1973. Its founder was American businessman and automobile racing team owner Jim Trueman. [2] Trueman died in 1986, but the company remained in the hands of the Trueman family for a brief period of time after his death. In 1994, The Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund purchased Red Roof from the Trueman family. Three years later, in 1997, they began to franchise the company with their first franchised location in Branson, Missouri. In 1999, the company was purchased from the Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund by French hospitality management company Accor. At the time of the purchase, the Red Roof Inn had 324 locations and 37,208 rooms. [3] Accor, which owned various hotel brands including Motel 6, purchased the Red Roof Inn for $1.115 billion. As a result of the purchase, Accor became the third largest chain in guestrooms worldwide at the time. [4] In April 2007, Accor announced the sale of Red Roof Inns to Citigroup Global Special Situations Group and Westbridge Hospitality Fund LP for $1.3 billion.[5] As part of the sale, some locations were to become part of Accor's then flagship North American brand, Motel 6, and Accor planned to focus their efforts in the North American accommodation market exclusively on that brand the after the sale was complete.[6] BrandsRed Roof InnAlthough the company offers several different brands, a majority of their locations are simply branded Red Roof Inn. Red Roof Plus+Red Roof launched its brand extension, Red Roof Plus in early 2014. Red Roof Plus includes a new room type, enhanced LED lighting, and outside signage. Although the Red Roof Plus+ brands may be more expensive than a traditional Red Roof Inn, they offer amenities like additional outlets, improved bedding, and an improved wood-like vinyl floor, rather than carpet.[7] The Red CollectionIn 2018, Red Roof announced the launch of their first soft brand, The Red Collection, a chain of midscale hotels. The first two hotels within The Red Collection are The St. Clair Hotel in Chicago, IL, and State House Inn in Springfield, IL. [8] Hometowne Studios by Red RoofIn 2018, Red Roof Inn launched Hometowne Studios by Red Roof, which is a brand with a focus on accommodating longer-term guests. [9] See also
