Ascend Hotel Collection® from Choice Hotels International, Inc, one of the world’s largest hotel companies, today announced the opening of its 100th hotel, a milestone for the portfolio of independent hotels launched in late 2008.
The announcement was made at the company’s annual convention in Los Angeles on the heels of a string of additions that marked the Collection’s expansion into such top destinations as Las Vegas, Napa Valley, Sedona and Baltimore. Since the beginning of the year,
Ascend Hotel Collection has opened 30 hotels, catapulting the portfolio to its landmark 100th hotel in less than five years.
Since its debut in 2008, Ascend Hotel Collection has quintupled in size, adding hotels on three continents and five countries and establishing its position as a leader in the growing trend toward affiliation for independent hotels.
