Blackstone Group, the equity company that owns Hilton Hotels, has annouced that they are buying the Motel 6 Chain from Accor Hotels: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-...chain-to-blackstone-fund-for-1-9-billion.html I wonder if Motel 6 will eventually become part of HHonors due to the buy-out from Blackstone Group, or whether it will remain a separate entity...
