Best Western rolled out a new boutique hotel in 2018 that promotes modern design and wellness. I spent $112 on a room in Kentucky — and it exceeded my expectations in more ways than one.

Best Western GLo, the company's new boutique hotel brand, launched in late 2018.

GLo is Best Western's new boutique hotel brand, focusedon "hip" design and wellness amenities.
The first Best Western GLo opened in Texas at the end of 2018, and seven more have opened in 2019.
I spent a night at a Best Western GLo on a recent work trip to Lexington, Kentucky, in a $112-a-night king room.
Rates at the Lexington GLo start at about $92 in the low season and go up to about $155.
While I didn't find GLo's wellness amenities to be anything special, I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality and value I got for my money.
