ROCKVILLE, Md. – The growing Ascend Hotel Collection from Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) recently added three new properties to its global portfolio of resort, boutique and historic hotels: The Harborview in Port Washington, Wisconsin; The Crossroads Hotel – Newburgh in Newburgh, New York; and the 17 West Hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In addition to providing upscale guests with the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life, each of the brand’s newest additions – conveniently located within driving distance of nearby metropolitan areas – are owned and operated by longtime Choice franchise owners, further underscoring the brand’s continued appeal and commitment to growth-minded hoteliers.
“Consumer travel preferences have evolved. Rather than bank away annual vacation days for a single holiday, travelers are increasingly taking advantage of opportunities to extend weekend trips and enjoy the flexibility of working remotely. With more than 200 distinct locations nationwide, Ascend hotels provide ideal accommodations for any getaway,” said Janis Cannon, senior vice president, upscale brands, Choice Hotels. “Curious travelers looking for their next adventure aren’t the only ones turning to the Ascend brand. New and existing Choice owners alike seek Ascend membership to better position their outstanding upscale properties in guests’ favorite markets while tapping into the brand’s core philosophy of providing unforgettable experiences.”
Like every Ascend Hotel Collection member, The Harborview, The Crossroads Hotel – Newburgh, and 17 West Hotel are uniquely woven into the fabric of their surrounding communities to deliver a one-of-a-kind travel experience for guests, while providing owners with increased opportunities in local markets. Features of the brand’s newest hotels, include:
In the coming months, Ascend also plans to open hotels in more popular destinations, including Orlando, FL, and Las Vegas, NV.
“Along with continuing to welcome new franchisees to the brand family, we’re incredibly proud to see so many existing Choice owners look for opportunities with the Ascend Hotel Collection following their success with other Choice brands,” said Mark Shalala, senior vice president, franchise development, upscale brands, Choice Hotels. “Since the brand’s inception, we’ve been committed to helping hoteliers take their upscale properties to the next level by expanding their global reach through our robust distribution channels, award-winning loyalty program and industry-leading technology – all while enabling them to retain their local identity and charm. It’s just one of the reasons, more than a decade later, Ascend remains the industry’s largest soft brand, and why guests and owners love this proven product.”
