Cambria Hotels touts highest RevPAR Index in brand’s history as nationwide expansion continues
ROCKVILLE, Md., 2022-Mar-01 — /Travel PR News/ — Choice Hotels International, Inc.’s (NYSE: CHH) upscale brands, the Ascend Hotel Collection and Cambria Hotels, achieved domestic systemwide RevPAR index share gains versus its local competitors in 2021 compared to the same period of 2019. At the same time, both brands combined to expand the number of domestic upscale hotels by 13% year-over-year, excluding the impact of AMResorts® properties’ exit following its acquisition. The success of Ascend, a global portfolio of resort, boutique and historic hotels, and Cambria, designed for modern travelers with a distinct local experience, further confirms the company’s strategic focus on growing this revenue-intense segment.
“Despite another challenging year for our industry, Ascend and Cambria not only drove RevPAR outperformance versus their local competitors, they also outperformed the upscale chain scale in RevPAR growth as they continue to offer guests a category-defining experience,” said Janis Cannon, senior vice president, upscale brands, Choice Hotels. “Our continued upscale success, even amid times of uncertainty, proves that our strategy and commitment to growing these brands is working. Hotel owners are drawn to the strong value proposition that Ascend and Cambria provide, while guests are increasingly selecting these brands for their next adventure because they love the uniquely local experience and upscale amenities they offer. We look forward to bringing these beloved brands to more top-notch locations where owners want to develop, and guests want to visit.”
Choice’s upscale brands experienced several notable achievements throughout 2021 and in the fourth quarter, including:
“Our success throughout 2021 proves our upscale brands provide an attractive value proposition for current and future owners in practically any economic environment,” said Mark Shalala, senior vice president of development, upscale brands, Choice Hotels. “Ascend allows owners to maintain their independence while improving their reservation delivery and providing access to industry-leading tools and resources, while Cambria affords owners the opportunity to develop new-construction or adaptive reuse hotels in top leisure destinations. Cambria has also recently debuted another opportunity to grow the brand with a new prototype developed specifically for secondary and leisure markets. Just as guests love the brands for their ideal locations and upscale offerings, developers appreciate the value they generate.”
