White Lodging Services Corporation is a privately held American hotel management company. As of 2022, it manages about 50 hotels.[1][2]

White Lodging was founded in 1985 by Bruce W. White, who was the company's chairman.[3][4] In January 2022, Jean-Luc Barone was named the company's CEO, replacing Ken Barrett who remains as president.[4][5][3] The company is headquartered in Merrillville, Indiana.[1][3]

In 2014 and 2015, White Lodging was the subject of data security breaches at numerous locations that it manages.[6][7][8][9] In December 2017, White Lodging announced that it would be selling 82 of its suburban hotel management contracts to Interstate Hotels & Resorts, cutting its hotel portfolio in half and resulting in the loss of more than 50 corporate office staff.[10]
