Hard Rock Hotels Ranked #1 in Guest Satisfaction in JD Power

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Jul. 14, 2021 – Today, Hard Rock Hotels announced it has been ranked the number one brand among Upper Upscale Hotels in the J.D. Power 2021 North America Guest Satisfaction Study. This is the third consecutive year the iconic brand has been honored as one of the top-performing hotels by leading data and analytics company J.D. Power. The study analyzes approximately 33,000 guest responses to survey questions and ranks over 100 hospitality brands across six market segments to measure guest satisfaction, advocacy and loyalty.

In addition to receiving the highest score in Guest Satisfaction among Upper Upscale Hotel Chains, Hard Rock Hotels received the highest score of all hotel brands, across all surveyed categories in the study. Hard Rock was ranked #1 in six factors including arrival/departure; guest rooms; food & beverage; services & amenities; hotel facilities; and cost & fees – all of which are integral components of the unique customer experience curated by Hard Rock.

To create memorable stays and the best hospitality experience for guests, Hard Rock Hotel properties feature an array of bespoke offerings. Signature elements include music infused amenities such as the Sound of Your Stay®, a complimentary program designed to create discovery and interaction with music – a core component to the Hard Rock brand. Each property is accentuated with the unforgettable storytelling of the priceless music memorabilia collection. Hotels worldwide offer an exceptional array of culinary and beverage offerings, one-of-a-kind wellness and fitness programs, extensive kids and family activities, plus endless entertainment through both live performances and curated content. Additionally, the brand remains committed to guest health and safety through its SAFE + SOUND program developed in 2020 with global health and sanitization specialists.

“We are honored that our dedication to our guests has been recognized by J.D. Power again and we are grateful for the commitment of our hotel teams” said Dale Hipsh, Senior Vice President of Hard Rock Hotels. “Since we were founded 50 years ago, Hard Rock has been committed to creating experiences that delight our fans. With each new destination our hotels emerge in, we create an authentic and thoughtfully designed journey.”

As the demand for the Hard Rock experience continues to grow, the brand’s hotel portfolio continues to rapidly expand including the recent opening of the Hard Rock Hotel Madrid, located in the Golden Triangle of Art in the Spanish capital. European expansion will continue later this year. In 2022 the brand will welcome its new flagship Hotel in New York, establishing a must- visit entertainment destination in the heart of midtown Manhattan.  

The recognition of the J.D. Power 2021 Study combined with Hard Rock’s expansion showcases a continued dedication for the brand to serve guests and fans around the globe.
