ROCKVILLE, Md., July 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) and Weintraub Real Estate Group announced the official start of construction on the Cambria Hotel Calabasas – Malibu. Expected to open in early 2021, the three-story, 125-room upscale hotel will further the brand's Golden State presence, which includes the Cambria Hotel LAX and will expand to Anaheim, Sonoma, and Napa by year end, with the Cambria LA Spring Street under development.
The Cambria Hotel Calabasas – Malibu is being built at 26300 Rondell Rd. along the 101 Freeway, which connects Los Angeles and San Francisco. Once open, the hotel will offer upscale accommodations near the region's major employers, including the corporate headquarters of the Cheesecake Factory, Inc., Harbor Freight Tools, and Keysight Technologies Inc., which was founded by Hewlett-Packard. Located a short, scenic drive from Malibu's famous beaches and waterfront dining, the Cambria Hotel Calabasas – Malibu will offer convenient access to Pepperdine University, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, as well as the hiking and biking trails of the Santa Monica Mountains.
The Calabasas groundbreaking marks the beginning of a busy season for the Cambria brand, which is on pace to break its openings record for the second-straight year. This summer alone, seven Cambria hotels are expected to open in top-tier markets across the country, adding over 1,200 rooms to Choice Hotels' upscale portfolio:
