Global Hotel Alliance (GHA) Discovery went through a refresh in 2021, and NH Hotels became program participating in June 2022.
GHA Discovery members can qualify for various tier levels based on the stays, revenue, or brands stayed at. There have now been clarification on what qualifies under the latter method.
You can access GHA Discovery here.
Here’s the update:
16 “Number of Brands Stayed” is the total number of different GHA Member Brands stayed in by the Member in the specified period. One note for clarification – the following NH Brands are counted as one single GHA Member Brand for tier calculation purposes: NH Hotels, NH Collection, and nhow Hotels.
All three NH brands count only as ONE towards the GHA Discovery tier. You could have qualified for a Titanium merely by staying at all three (NH Hotels, NH Collection & nhow).

Conclusion
It would have been better had GHA clarified this WHEN NH Hotels joined the Discovery program in July. I am sure that there are displeased members who now only have these three brands count only one for status qualification purposes.
