Which chain of hotels was founded by Kemmons Wilson in 1952?

As a young teen riding in the car on family vacations, seeing an upcoming Holiday Inn was a beautiful sight b/c of the pool.

best info.

I will always remember the odd shaped green sign, cursive writing with the big lit up curved arrow pointing to the motel

Player en_846, One summer I had a job as the hostess in the coffee shop in one in New Jersey. A very pleasant experience, very generous employers with a meal included.

Years ago I stayed at the Holiday Inn Training Center in Olive Branch, Mississippi. The Inn was clean a d pleasant and the service was 👍.

I didn't know the chain was now British owned. I guess it's appropriate that Elton John gave it a shout out. "And you ain't seen nothing 'til you've been In a motel, baby, like the Holiday Inn"

never heard of Accorhotels
