AmeriSuites hotels
An AmeriSuites hotel room in Vernon Hills, Illinois in 2007

AmeriSuites Hotels was a hotel chain last owned by Global Hyatt.[1] It was founded by Mark Yale Harris, cofounder of Red Roof Inns. In 1991, Harris founded AmeriSuites Hotels.[2] AmeriSuites was an innovator in offering one of the first available affordable suite accommodations. It grew to over 100 locations throughout the United States.[3]

In 1998, AmeriSuites was sold to The Blackstone Group, who operated AmeriSuites under its Prime Hospitality division.[4]

In 2005 Blackstone Real Estate Partners sold AmeriSuites to Hyatt.[5] Between 2006 and 2009, Global Hyatt Select Hotel Group phased out the AmeriSuites brand and converted the properties into the then-new Hyatt Place brand.
