==Controversy==
The Millennium brand of hotels has come under fire for charging high rates for rooms that are outdated and in disrepair. While many travel and review sites offer poor feedback for Millenium Hotels, for the first time city leaders are also demanding the hotel group update or demolish their buildings. City of Cincinnati economic development director Odis Jones went so far as saying “The Millennium is in poor shape. It needs more than just a renovation.”<ref name=andrews>{{cite news|last=Andrews |first=Cindi |url=http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20130526/BIZ/305260030/ |title=Outdated Millennium Hotel hurting convention business| work=[[The Cincinnati Inquirer]] |date=28 May 2013 |accessdate=2014-06-17}}</ref> The St. Louis hotel has fared no better with customers. "I've never experienced a hotel that was so, not just filthy, but also dilapidated", one St. Louis Millennium visitor claimed.

Millennium & Copthorne Hotels plc, operator of the Millennium, Copthorne and Kingsgate hotel chains, is a leading global hospitality management and real estate group, with 120 hotels in 79 business and leisure destinations in Asia, Australasia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. It is headquartered in London and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.


History

The company's origins date to 1972 when British Caledonian Airways acquired the Copthorne Hotel at Copthorne, West Sussex, near Gatwick.[2] The Copthorne Hotels brand was launched in 1985[2] and a number of new hotels opened in the UK, France and Germany. In 1989, Singapore based CDL Hotels International acquired 6 hotels in Asia and in 1993 CDL made its first move outside Asia – purchasing the 548-room Gloucester Hotel in London.[3] In the same year CDL took control of a 13-hotel chain in New Zealand.[4] In 1994, CDL made its entry into the US with the purchase of the Millenium Hilton in New York and acquired the Millennium Broadway in New York’s Times Square district in December.[5] In 1995, CDL Hotels acquired Copthorne Hotels and the enlarged corporation became Millennium and Copthorne Hotels.[6] The company was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1996.[7] In 1999, it acquired Regal Hotels of the US.[8]

In 2001 M&C expanded into the Middle East with several management contracts secured in the United Arab Emirates and the first of six new hotels in China opened in 2008.[9]
