Original Summary

TIL a crazy number of hotels is owned not by public stock holders, not by private owners, not even by private equity funds, but by governments! You don't see this easily, because you have to dig quite deep (or well dig upward actually) and they cover it up in lots of constructions Like this hotel in Paris "Le Ballu", sounds French? Yes and it's owned by Hotels & Preference, which on paper is a French international hotel chain Hotels & Preference itself is owned by the Louvre Hotels Group, sounds French too? Yes But Louvre Hotels Group is owned by Jin Jiang International, that doesn't sound so French anymore? So it must be a Chinese company? Right? No! It's the municipality of Shanghai!? Yes the the local council of Shanghai somehow owns 539 hotels around the world including Raddison, Park Plaza, Vienna House, Golden Tulip, Campanile, Kyriad etc. Other big government owners are the government of Dubai, Brunei and Qatar So I added a filter [ Government-owned hotels ] and every hotel page shows the TRUE owner of a hotel, not just the chain! @levelsio : Also one more filter for today: 🔲 Public company ☑️ Privately owned 🔲 Government owned I love ETFs as much as the next guy but they do put a pressure on stocks to grow by 10%/year or more Hotels have a hard time doing that, so how do you grow? You cut costs and big hotel Link: https://x.com/levelsio/status/2107253351897350285
