Warwick International Hotels (www.warwickhotels.com; WIH) is a privately owned company and has a blue-chip portfolio of hotels and resorts. Launched in 1980 with the purchase of the Warwick New York, Warwick International Hotels is celebrating more than three decades of hospitality excellence.
Hilton is owned by the Blackstone Group while Marriotts are owned by Marriott International, although some hotels are bought up by other groups. For example, all Marriotts in the UK were part of the Whitbread group rather than Marriott International until last year, when they were bought back by Marriott International.
