HENDERSONVILLE, TN— Not even a year after it made its industry debut as a franchised hotel brand company, Settle Inn LLC, the franchisor of Settle Inn and Settle Inn & Suites hotels, is already creating a multi-brand family through the acquisition of the GuestHouse International Inn, Hotels & Suites brand and franchise system. But unlike other franchise companies that often buy brands in order to fold them into existing ones, Settle Inn LLC plans on growing GuestHouse as specifically an upper-economy brand that compliments the burgeoning limited-service midscale Settle Inn.
