Thanks for asking! I am a business librraian, so I will look at Hoovers business database and tell you what the current top three hotel chains are, based on their sizes like you asked (not by revenue):
(1) InterContinental Hotels Group (ICH)
IHC is the world's largest hotel company by room count, with more than 3,500 properties in nearly 100 countries. Its mainstay chain, Holiday Inn, offers mid-market accommodations at more than 1,480 locations in the US, Europe, and Asia, along with 1,500 limited-service locations operated under the Holiday Inn Express brand. ICH also serves the upscale market with its Crowne Plaza and InterContinental chains, while its Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites brands offer extended stay services mostly in the US.
