ROCKVILLE, Md., Jan. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) is making planning and booking group travel at its hotels easier than ever with the launch of the Group Management Platform, an online reservation solution.
Through a new portal on ChoiceHotels.com, guests can seamlessly make reservations for groups, review details at a glance, select various payment options, confirm reservations, send customized emails inviting guests to book, and make room modifications at any time. The Group Management Platform is available to members of the award-wining Choice Privileges loyalty program who are looking to book 10 rooms or more.
