Yes, they do. These major hotels will all be reflagged with new brands. People will start traveling once there's a vaccine.
In fact, one of the hotels you just posted (the Times Square Edition) was already reflagged, days after closing. It will remain an Edition, but under revised ownership. It's opening in a few days, actually. That asset is probably one of the most valuable hotels on earth, given its location.

The other hotel you posted, the Palmer House Hilton, had like $250 million poured into it a few years ago. It's a very valuable asset, and I bet will be reflagged before end-of-year.
You really believe that people will stop traveling, essentially forever? I have about a dozen planned work trips that will occur in the first few months of normalcy, as well as leisure trips planned to Europe and Mexico. Yes, the economy will remain horrific for a few quarters, yes some will be wary to travel for a few quarters, but people ultimately won't stop needing travel and human interaction.
