ROCKVILLE, Md., 2017-Oct-13 — /Travel PR News/ — Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the world’s largest hotel companies, along with developer City Point Capital, announced the groundbreaking of the Cambria Hotel South Boston. Located at 6 West Broadway, the 159-room property is expected to open in 2019.
The Cambria Hotel South Boston is conveniently located right outside of downtown Boston in one of the fastest growing communities in the country, which includes a popular neighborhood for young professionals as well as emerging technology companies.

“Boston is a city steeped in rich history and tradition, and the groundbreaking of the Cambria Hotel South Boston marks the beginning of our own legacy in the area. As the Cambria brand rapidly expands in popular urban markets across the country, Boston is a perfect addition to the portfolio, as it is home to a robust and growing business community as well as numerous entertainment options,” said Janis Cannon, senior vice president, upscale brands at Choice Hotels. “More importantly, we found the perfect teammate in City Point Capital to build this new upscale hotel designed for the modern traveler.”
The Cambria South Boston will feature a rooftop bar, leased restaurant space, stylish amenities and local art. The property will also include ample meeting space, a business center and state-of-the-art fitness center.
