Holiday Inn

==1952–1982==
===1952–1955 (Holiday Inn Hotel Courts)===
 The first Holiday Inn was built in 1952 in Memphis, Tennessee. The signs at first also included both "Hotel" and "Courts" to imply that it was upscale, and to connect it with competing independent motels.https://www.chasenfratz.com/wp/the-holiday-inn-brand-and-trademark-concepts/
===1955–1957 (Holiday Inn Motel)===
 In the Mid 1950s, Holiday Inn dropped the word Courts and replaced Hotel with the more modern "Motel" as a way to emphasize that Holiday Inn's pricing was competitive with other motels.
===1957–1982 (Holiday Inn)===
By 1957, with the hotel chain expanding across the United States, the rising recognition of the Holiday Inn name led to the dropping of the Motel moniker.
