Best Western Hotels & Resorts Goes "Behind The Brands" With A Closer Look At GLō®

Energetic New Brand Caters to Today’s Connected Travelers, Celebrates First U.S. Opening in DeSoto, Texas


Phoenix, AZ – WEBWIRE

Best Western Hotels & Resorts this month is highlighting its new-build boutique brand, GLō, as part of the “Today’s Best Western” campaign and its “Behind the Brands” series, giving travelers an inside look at the unique hotel offering that is smashing the suburban cookie-cutter hotel mold. The electric brand is on the move celebrating its first-ever opening this month in DeSoto, Texas, and unveiling a strong pipeline of 31 properties. Positioned for secondary markets, complementing the urban locations of its sister brand - Vīb®, GLō can soon be seen in up-and-coming cities, such as Nashville, Asheville, Lexington, Brooklyn and Ottawa.

GLō is an upper-midscale hotel brand designed for savvy travelers who expect the best in value, design, and comfort. The brand focuses on a dramatic, iconic arrival experience; streamlined, contemporary guestrooms; and stylish, cost-effective materials. Positioned as a hub for the road warrior, a respite for families, and a modern experience for everyone who stays, GLō is an ideal brand for secondary suburban and highway locations.

With its signature flexible construction, including unique center-loaded bathrooms, GLō is also setting a new standard in the development space due to its innovative design and smart space utilization.

“Today’s Best Western has evolved into a relevant and connected brand in the eyes of today’s travelers,” said Ron Pohl, Senior Vice President and Chief Operations Officer for Best Western Hotels & Resorts. “GLō is a modern and energetic new offering that perfectly underscores our brand’s refreshed identity, and our commitment to delivering the exceptional hotel experiences our guests are looking for.”

The inaugural debut of GLō took place in Desoto, Texas, where Best Western’s senior leadership, the hotel’s ownership and local VIPs gathered to celebrate the arrival of this iconic brand coming to life. The 75-room boutique hotel consists of a welcoming lobby and bar for unwinding or networking with colleagues and friends, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and unique guestrooms. South of I-35, GLō DeSoto is a 15-minute drive from Downtown Dallas, where travelers can enjoy an array of premier dining options, nightlife, shopping, and the Dallas World Aquarium.

GLō comes with the one-of-a-kind features and amenities that cater to travelers’ expectations, and delivers the cost-saving solutions that today’s developers are looking for, such as:

  • GLō’s bar-shaped exterior design welcomes travelers with a beacon of light, the hotel features LED lit banding, lite-bright walls and a back-lit front desk
  • Contemporary interior design with cool neutrals punctuated with accents of blue and yellow
  • Unique, modern, streamlined guestrooms and bathrooms maximize space and feel
  • State-of-the-art fitness center
  • The lobby flows into an integrated breakfast area that includes concealable displays, so the space transforms into a work-and-relax area after breakfast
  • Furnishings serve dual functions and are designed for both leisure and business travelers
  • GLō provides a cost-effective approach that allows flexibility for various sites
    GLō provides the value-packed perks for which Best Western is known, including an award-winning “Build Your Own Breakfast” program with hot, healthy, customizable options available complimentary at most locations, and the award-winning Best Western Rewards® (BWR®) loyalty program with more than 35 million members.
