Choice Hotels (CHH) Expands Everhome Suites in Key Markets
Read MoreHide Full Article
Choice Hotels International, Inc. (CHH - Free Report) , a global leader in the lodging industry, is making strategic moves to further solidify its position in the extended stay market.
The company recently broke ground on three new Everhome Suites in San Antonio, TX; Bowling Green, KY and Wichita, KS. These new developments are a testament to Choice Hotels’ commitment to expanding its footprint in high-demand markets, particularly in the midscale extended stay segment.
Collaborating with Highside Companies, Choice Hotels is rapidly increasing its portfolio of Everhome Suites. With these latest groundbreakings, the company now has four Everhome Suites open, 65 in the pipeline and more than 20 currently under construction. The San Antonio location marks the sixth Everhome Suites being built in Texas, while the Bowling Green and Wichita sites represent strategic firsts for Kansas and further expansion in Kentucky.
The choice of locations highlights the company’s strategy of tapping into markets with strong demand drivers. For instance, the Bowling Green property is situated near major manufacturing hubs and corporate headquarters, making this an ideal spot for business travelers. Similarly, the San Antonio and Wichita properties are positioned close to key corporate and military installations, ensuring a steady stream of guests.
Choice Hotels' first-mover advantage in the extended stay category is evident, with nearly 400 hotels in the pipeline across its four extended stay brands. This aggressive expansion is designed to meet the growing demand in the segment, where supply is currently lagging behind demand.
Everhome Suites offers guests a home-away-from-home experience with fully equipped kitchens, spa-style bathrooms and contemporary amenities. The brand’s focus on providing comfort, convenience and flexibility is resonating with both business and leisure travelers.
