G6 Hospitality LLC

G6 Hospitality LLC is a prominent economy lodging franchisor that owns, operates, and franchises nearly 1,500 locations across the United States and Canada. The company's mission is to build on the iconic heritage of its brands, Motel 6 and Studio 6, to become the universally recognized leader in economy lodging, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a dedication to hospitality and service. Its corporate headquarters are located in Carrollton, Texas.

The company's portfolio primarily includes the Motel 6 brand, an iconic American name synonymous with affordable and clean accommodations, and Studio 6, which provides extended-stay options. In April 2026, G6 Hospitality further expanded its offerings by launching Studio 6 Plus, a new extended-stay brand designed for the upper-economy segment with enhanced amenities. Beyond lodging, G6 Hospitality supports its franchisees with essential services such as property management, marketing, training, and technical expertise.

In a significant corporate development, G6 Hospitality LLC was acquired by Oravel Stays (OYO), a global travel technology company, from Blackstone Real Estate for $525 million. This transaction was announced in September 2024 and finalized in December 2024. Leadership changes have also occurred, with Julie Arrowsmith appointed President and Interim Chief Executive Officer in January 2023. More recently, in June 2026, Sonal Sinha stepped down as CEO, and Nikhil Heda was elevated to Country Head of G6 Hospitality for the United States. The company continues to maintain its market position as a leading economy lodging franchisor, with its brands, Motel 6 and Studio 6, recognized in the 2024 Entrepreneur Franchise 500® report.
