Choice Hotels International Opens 88 New Hotels in Q1 2013
PR Newswire
ROCKVILLE, Md.

ROCKVILLE, Md., May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the world's largest lodging franchisors, announced robust system growth with the addition of 88 newly opened franchised properties during the first quarter of 2013. Additionally, the company has executed a total of 83 new domestic contracts within the first quarter of 2013, a 30-percent increase over the same period of the prior year.

Ascend Hotel Collection, a membership program comprised of exquisite independent hotels, continued its exceptional growth into the first quarter of 2013, with 28 new membership agreements signed compared to three membership agreements during the same time last year. Much of this growth is a direct result of Choice Hotels International's strategic marketing alliance with timeshare company Bluegreen Vacations, a relationship which enables the company to further extend the Ascend Hotel Collection portfolio into even more outstanding resort destinations.

During the first three months of 2013, openings include hotels in 28 U.S. states and 11 countries, adding more than 6,500 guestrooms to the company's existing rooms which stand at more than half a million. The Choice Hotels portfolio of franchised hotels offers business and leisure travelers a full spectrum from premium economy to upscale hotels and resorts.

"We are especially pleased by the positive reception we've seen to our upscale brands, as well as the significant traction we're gaining in major urban markets," said David Pepper, senior vice president of global development for Choice Hotels International. "Across all brands, the development environment has improved for new construction, so much so that we believe 2013 is on track to be considerably stronger than last year for franchise development."

Select properties that opened during this year's first quarter include:

Choice Hotels International Opens 88 New Hotels in Q1 2013

PR Newswire

ROCKVILLE, Md., May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the world's largest lodging franchisors, announced robust system growth with the addition of 88 newly opened franchised properties during the first quarter of 2013. Additionally, the company has executed a total of 83 new domestic contracts within the first quarter of 2013, a 30-percent increase over the same period of the prior year.

Ascend Hotel Collection, a membership program comprised of exquisite independent hotels, continued its exceptional growth into the first quarter of 2013, with 28 new membership agreements signed compared to three membership agreements during the same time last year. Much of this growth is a direct result of Choice Hotels International's strategic marketing alliance with timeshare company Bluegreen Vacations, a relationship which enables the company to further extend the Ascend Hotel Collection portfolio into even more outstanding resort destinations.

During the first three months of 2013, openings include hotels in 28 U.S. states and 11 countries, adding more than 6,500 guestrooms to the company's existing  rooms which stand at more than half a million. The Choice Hotels portfolio of franchised hotels offers business and leisure travelers a full spectrum from premium economy to upscale hotels and resorts.

"We are especially pleased by the positive reception we've seen to our upscale brands, as well as the significant traction we're gaining in major urban markets," said David Pepper, senior vice president of global development for Choice Hotels International. "Across all brands, the development environment has improved for new construction, so much so that we believe 2013 is on track to be considerably stronger than last year for franchise development."

Select properties that opened during this year's first quarter include:

Arroyo Pinion Hotel, Ascend Hotel Collection – Sedona, Arizona 
The stunning Red Rocks of Sedona, Arizona have colorful names like 'Thunder Mountain,' 'Lizard Head,' and 'Coffeepot,' and right across the street from these landmarks you will find the Arroyo Pinion Hotel.

Local eateries range from casual chic to five-star elegance and those who wish to explore Sedona's mystical vortexes will have plenty of local guides to lend a hand. Guests can also enjoy the spirit of relaxation with in-room whirlpool tubs and patios available in many rooms. Free continental breakfast and a free daily newspaper make the Arroyo Pinion a perfect spot for business and leisure travelers.
