BACKGROUND
Established: 60 years experience
Franchised Units: Over 5,000
Choice Hotels International (NYSE:CHH) is one of the largest
hotel franchise companies in the world with over 5,000
hotels, inns, all-suite hotels and resorts open and under
development in 48 countries and territories under the
Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Quality, Sleep Inn, Clarion,
MainStay Suites, Cambria Suites, Suburban Extended Stay,
Econo Lodge and Rodeway Inn brand names. The company built
its foundation on the venerable Quality Inn chain, a pioneer
in providing consistent quality and service in mid-priced
lodging. Choice began its rapid expansion in 1981 with the
introduction of segmentation to the hotel industry through
the development and launch of Comfort Inn brand. This
first-ever franchised "luxury-budget" limited service hotel
is now one of the fastest growing brands in the lodging
industry. With the subsequent acquisition of Clarion Hotels,
Rodeway Inn and Econo Lodge and the development of two more
innovative hotel concepts, Sleep Inn and MainStay Suites,
Choice today represents a full spectrum of lodging products,
from economy to upscale. Industry "firsts" by Choice include
mid-priced, all-suite hotels; mandatory system-wide
non-smoking rooms; rooms specially designed for senior
travelers; real-time bookings via the Internet; and
franchised mid-market lodging.
Choice Hotels is one of the world's largest and most
recognized hotel brands with 98% brand awareness according
to 2006 Milward Brown Study. This hotel franchise offers
developers strong return on investment.
Excellent value, friendly service and assurance of pleasant
accommodations at a reasonable price. Comfort now offers
