Best Western has branched into boutique hotels with GLo, its new "hip" hotel brand that launched at the end of 2018.
Best Western GLo hotels are all about modern design, tech-forward amenities, and wellness amenities. The first GLo opened in Desoto, Texas, in October 2018, and the brand has since expanded to Brooklyn, New York; Lexington, Kentucky; Asheville, North Carolina; Nashville, Tennessee; Catoosa, Oklahoma; Hollywood, Florida; and Ottawa, Canada.
I spent a night at the 79-room Best Western GLo for the first time on a work trip to Lexington, Kentucky. My standard king room cost $112 including taxes and fees.
