 PROFILE
Thistle Hotels is trying to stick it to the competition with its chain of UK hotels. The company owns and operates more than 55 properties in the UK, including 23 hotels in London (about two-thirds of sales), the most of any hotelier in that city. Targeting both business and leisure travelers, its four-star hotels feature such amenities as fax, modem, and PC hookups, as well as restaurants, conference rooms, and lounges. It has been adding full-service health spas at some of its hotels. Thistle has spent the past five years renovating its properties into four-star hotels and rebranding them under the Thistle name. New Zealand's Brierley Investments owns 46% of the company.
