The Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA), recognized as the world’s largest group of hotel owners, has welcomed OYO‘s recent acquisition of G6 Hospitality, the company behind the Motel 6 and Studio 6 brands. This $525 million transaction with Blackstone significantly strengthens OYO’s footprint in the U.S. hospitality market.
“AAHOA looks forward to working closely with OYO as they take over the Motel 6 and Studio 6 franchise brands,” said Chairman Miraj S. Patel.
“Our members have always valued our longstanding partnerships with G6, and this new chapter with OYO offers an exciting opportunity to build upon those ties. Together, we can continue to push the boundaries of innovation and ensure excellent guest experiences.”
OYO’s decision to maintain the operations of Motel 6 and Studio 6 while introducing new ideas signals exciting possibilities. “The future looks promising,” said Laura Lee Blake, President & CEO of AAHOA. “OYO brings a powerful mix of international expertise and a deep understanding of local markets, which we believe will greatly benefit both our members and the larger hospitality sector. At AAHOA, we remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting our members as the industry evolves, ensuring their success amid these shifts.”
As OYO transitions into managing Motel 6 and Studio 6, AAHOA continues to focus on supporting its members and fostering strong industry partnerships.
