ROCKVILLE, Md., Feb. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the world's leading hotel companies, announced outstanding system growth with the opening of 478 domestic and international properties in 2014. The outlook for future growth is also robust based on the 566 new domestic franchise agreements signed by the company last year. Particularly exciting about this development momentum is that 159 of the signed contracts were for new construction hotels, a more than 70-percent increase over the same period in 2013.

"It has been a landmark year on the development front for Choice Hotels, most notably with new construction agreements and the expansion of our development clientele as driving forces," said David Pepper, senior vice president of global development for Choice Hotels International. "Developers recognize the smart growth and brand strategies we have in place, plus they know that now is an excellent time to invest and expand with us. We look forward to maintaining this strong growth trajectory through 2015."
Among the most notable gains in 2014 are ten new construction development agreements signed with Love's Hospitality, LLC, the hotel development and management division of travel center conglomerate Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores, which operates more than 300 travel centers in 39 states, generating more than $26 billion annually. A family-owned business, in 2013 Forbes ranked Love's the 9th largest privately held company in the United States. Love's develops and manages select service and full service hotels and resorts across the country. Underscoring the great appeal of the company's different hotel brands, these multiple agreements include projects with the Comfort brand, Sleep Inn and Choice's innovative MainStay Suites & Sleep Inn dual-brand concept.
CHOICE BRANDS HAVE THE POWER TO ATTRACT
Upscale business traveler brand Cambria hotels & suites continues to surge, opening five new hotels with topnotch developers in key corporate travel destinations such as Washington, D.C., White Plains, New York and Plano, Texas. These hotels have been developed and are being operated by award-winning hospitality partners Meyer Jabara Hotels, Concord Hospitality and O'Reilly Hospitality Management, respectively. This year, two more Cambria properties are scheduled to open in Manhattan in addition to the brand's flagship property in Rockville, Maryland across from Choice Hotels International Headquarters. On the development front, Choice executed several new Cambria franchise agreements, including four with institutional capital advisory firm, Fillmore Capital. Notable 2014 deal signings include leading travel destinations such as Miami, New Orleans, Nashville, and Houston.
Heightened developer interest in the refreshed Comfort Inn and Comfort Suites brands is especially evident in the brands' new construction activity. In 2014, Choice Hotels signed 70 new construction franchise agreements for the Comfort family of brands across all market types including major U.S. cities such as New York City, Austin, Philadelphia, Denver, Houston and Pittsburgh. Choice Hotels and existing Comfort franchisees have already invested more than one-quarter billion dollars in the system-wide revitalization, including the company's landmark $40 million property improvement incentive. Hotels that participated in the incentive program have now completed renovations and last year guest satisfaction for the Comfort brands was at an all-time high.
Providing guests with a whole new style of rest, the Sleep Inn brand's Designed to Dream next generation look and feel continues to attract interest from developers. The company successfully executed 38 new agreements for the new construction brand in 2014, up more than 50-percent from the year prior. The Designed to Dream new construction prototype and mandatory system-wide redesign program is fueling the brand's double digit RevPAR growth which is outpacing the midscale segment. The brand's lower development costs and efficient operating model has great appeal with both experienced hotel investors and first-time developers.
The upscale Ascend Hotel Collection, a pioneer in "soft branding" independent hotels, continues to expand. The concept, which allows hotels to maintain their autonomy while benefitting from the firepower of Choice Hotels' distribution channels and technology, is now also generating significant new construction interest from the development community. Designed-focused developers in urban markets are attracted to the Ascend Hotel Collection as a new construction alternative. In 2014, Choice Hotels Global Development executed 11 new construction agreements for the Ascend Hotel Collection, most of which are located in New York City, as well as continuing to expand the system in major markets which include Los Angeles, Dallas and Minneapolis.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Feb. 23, 2015
ROCKVILLE, Md., Feb. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the world's leading hotel companies, announced outstanding system growth with the opening of 478 domestic and international properties in 2014. The outlook for future growth is also robust based on the 566 new domestic franchise agreements signed by the company last year. Particularly exciting about this development momentum is that 159 of the signed contracts were for new construction hotels, a more than 70-percent increase over the same period in 2013.
"It has been a landmark year on the development front for Choice Hotels, most notably with new construction agreements and the expansion of our development clientele as driving forces," said David Pepper, senior vice president of global development for Choice Hotels International. "Developers recognize the smart growth and brand strategies we have in place, plus they know that now is an excellent time to invest and expand with us. We look forward to maintaining this strong growth trajectory through 2015."
Among the most notable gains in 2014 are ten new construction development agreements signed with Love's Hospitality, LLC, the hotel development and management division of travel center conglomerate Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores, which operates more than 300 travel centers in 39 states, generating more than $26 billion annually. A family-owned business, in 2013 Forbes ranked Love's the 9th largest privately held company in the United States. Love's develops and manages select service and full service hotels and resorts across the country. Underscoring the great appeal of the company's different hotel brands, these multiple agreements include projects with the Comfort brand, Sleep Inn and Choice's innovative MainStay Suites & Sleep Inn dual-brand concept.
CHOICE BRANDS HAVE THE POWER TO ATTRACT
Upscale business traveler brand Cambria hotels & suites continues to surge, opening five new hotels with topnotch developers in key corporate travel destinations such as Washington, D.C., White Plains, New York and Plano, Texas. These hotels have been developed and are being operated by award-winning hospitality partners Meyer Jabara Hotels, Concord Hospitality and O'Reilly Hospitality Management, respectively. This year, two more Cambria properties are scheduled to open in Manhattan in addition to the brand's flagship property in Rockville, Maryland across from Choice Hotels International Headquarters. On the development front, Choice executed several new Cambria franchise agreements, including four with institutional capital advisory firm, Fillmore Capital. Notable 2014 deal signings include leading travel destinations such as Miami, New Orleans, Nashville, and Houston.
Heightened developer interest in the refreshed Comfort Inn and Comfort Suites brands is especially evident in the brands' new construction activity. In 2014, Choice Hotels signed 70 new construction franchise agreements for the Comfort family of brands across all market types including major U.S. cities such as New York City, Austin, Philadelphia, Denver, Houston and Pittsburgh. Choice Hotels and existing Comfort franchisees have already invested more than one-quarter billion dollars in the system-wide revitalization, including the company's landmark $40 million property improvement incentive. Hotels that participated in the incentive program have now completed renovations and last year guest satisfaction for the Comfort brands was at an all-time high.
Providing guests with a whole new style of rest, the Sleep Inn brand's Designed to Dream next generation look and feel continues to attract interest from developers. The company successfully executed 38 new agreements for the new construction brand in 2014, up more than 50-percent from the year prior. The Designed to Dream new construction prototype and mandatory system-wide redesign program is fueling the brand's double digit RevPAR growth which is outpacing the midscale segment. The brand's lower development costs and efficient operating model has great appeal with both experienced hotel investors and first-time developers.
The upscale Ascend Hotel Collection, a pioneer in "soft branding" independent hotels, continues to expand. The concept, which allows hotels to maintain their autonomy while benefitting from the firepower of Choice Hotels' distribution channels and technology, is now also generating significant new construction interest from the development community. Designed-focused developers in urban markets are attracted to the Ascend Hotel Collection as a new construction alternative. In 2014, Choice Hotels Global Development executed 11 new construction agreements for the Ascend Hotel Collection, most of which are located in New York City, as well as continuing to expand the system in major markets which include Los Angeles, Dallas and Minneapolis.
Among properties that opened this year include:

Generally, our use of words such as "expect," "estimate," "believe," "anticipate," "will," "forecast," "plan"," project," "assume" or similar words of futurity identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current beliefs, assumptions and expectations regarding future events, which in turn are based on information currently available to management. Such statements may relate to projections of the company's revenue, earnings and other financial and operational measures, company debt levels, ability to repay outstanding indebtedness, payment of dividends, and future operations, among other matters. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.
Several factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements of the company to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to, changes to general, domestic and foreign economic conditions; operating risks common in the lodging and franchising industries; changes to the desirability of our brands as viewed by hotel operators and customers; changes to the terms or termination of our contracts with franchisees; our ability to keep pace with improvements in technology utilized for reservations systems and other operating systems; fluctuations in the supply and demand for hotels rooms; and our ability to manage effectively our indebtedness. These and other risk factors are discussed in detail in the Risk Factors section of the company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2014 and our quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
