Cambria Hotels, an upscale brand franchised by Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), revealed today that modern travelers visiting the Golden State have yet another location to experience the brand's stylish essentials and design-forward accommodations following yesterday's official debut of the Cambria Hotel Calabasas. The newest Cambria hotel represents the brand's fifth location in California - joining hotels in the wine country of Napa and Sonoma, LAX and the Cambria Hotel Anaheim Resort Area - and underscores the brand's quest to bring its modern, upscale experience to travelers' favorite destinations.

To commemorate the grand opening of Calabasas' newest hotel, executives from Choice Hotels and development company Weintraub Real Estate Group joined city officials, including Calabasas Mayor Mary Sue Maurer, for an official ribbon cutting ceremony and property tours.

Located at 26400 Rondell Street, the three-story, 125-room Cambria Hotel Calabasas is ideally situated across four acres nestled between the Santa Monica foothills and Malibu Canyon, positioning guests near some of Southern California's most beautiful beaches and hiking trails. The new upscale hotel is also near several corporate headquarters, including Cheesecake Factory and Harbor Freight, in addition to tourist attractions, such as horseback riding in Malibu Canyon, hiking in Pointe Dume, as well as Malibu Creek State Park, Pepperdine University, the Commons at Calabasas shopping center, the Malibu Pier, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Camarillo Premiere Outlet Malls and Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza.

The Cambria Hotel Calabasas also features nearly 2,000 square feet of multi-function meeting space, ideally suited for leisure events and corporate gatherings alike. Following yesterday's grand opening, the hotel will host a networking event today to culminate the brand's #CheersToHer campaign, an initiative created with women-owned Cambria Estate Winery to celebrate and raise awareness of women in hospitality and wine throughout the year highlighting Women's History Month. The event, which pays homage to the female entrepreneurial spirit, aims to connect the next generation of women leaders with new pathways and colleagues and features an interactive panel discussion with Choice's Cannon and other women hospitality leaders.

The Cambria Hotel Calabasas was developed by franchisee and California-based Weintraub Real Estate Group and is managed by Twenty Four Seven Hotels.
