Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), today announces the opening of its 600th extended stay hotel, a milestone that reinforces the company's position as the largest franchised multi-brand portfolio in economy and midscale extended stay. The achievement reflects Choice Hotels' expanding scale, more than three decades of segment expertise, and sustained investment in the dedicated teams and capabilities that help franchisees perform in one of hospitality's fastest growing segments.
The Everhome Suites Denver Airport is the company's 600th extended stay hotel and is located under ten miles from one of the nation's busiest transportation hubs. The hotel sits in a market supported by the types of recurring demand generators that are fundamental to the segment, including healthcare, logistics, construction and infrastructure activity, and major employment centers. Designed for longer stays, the property offers spacious studio and one-bedroom suites with full kitchens and flexible living areas to help travelers maintain their routine. Guests can also enjoy nearby attractions like Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Denver Zoo, and the Green Valley Ranch Golf Club.
The opening of our 600th property is a celebration of how far we've come and a signal of where we're headed, with Everhome Suites leading the way. This category demands a deep understanding of a unique guest and disciplined operations, and we've built our business on that foundation, with a team dedicated extended stay experts, focused on helping drive hotel performance and advising franchisees on the highest-growth opportunities and markets. Our scale allows us to keep investing in new capabilities and innovation that propel franchisee performance in a dynamic, competitive environment, and our momentum is proof that approach is working
