Tamtam tracks 11,161 hotel and hospitality groups worldwide. This list ranks the 100 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Tata Group, Sodexo Live! and Dunkin'. Their median headcount is 27,525. Half of them were founded in 1969 or later. The most common headquarters are Dubai (6), Miami (5) and Atlanta (4).

This selection features large global groups in the hotel and hospitality sector, with a strong presence in restaurants and broader entertainment. Companies like Marriott International manage around 9,000 hotels across 30 brands, while Hilton oversees 27 brands and 9,000 properties. McDonald's operates over 37,000 fast-food locations worldwide, and Dunkin' is a global beverage and on-the-go breakfast powerhouse. Sodexo Live! delivers sports, leisure, and travel experiences, and Accor manages 45 hotel brands globally. Many of these firms are well-established, with several founded in the mid-20th century.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
