Additional amenities include free WiFi, pet-friendly options, weekly housekeeping and communal outdoor spaces.

Innovative Support for Hotel Owners

Choice Hotels' growth strategy is centered on the ongoing expansion of its brand portfolio, with the Everhome Suites brand showing strong performance. With over 400 more properties in development across four brands, the company’s growth prospects are clear. The growing interest from commercial real estate investors highlights the brand’s potential for continued success.

The company is effectively addressing the demand for extended stay accommodations while providing franchisees with cutting-edge solutions and strong industry partnerships.

CHH supports its franchisees with innovative tools like Choice Maps (AI-driven market analysis) and cloud-based systems like choiceEDGE and choiceADVANTAGE to streamline operations and enhance guest satisfaction.
