"We're elated to bring the fast-growing Cambria Hotels brand to more top destinations, including new markets, like Calabasas and Napa Valley, California, and Fort Lauderdale, while also continuing to grow in top urban markets, like Nashville, Tennessee, Washington, D.C. and Louisville, Kentucky," said Janis Cannon, senior vice president, upscale brands, Choice Hotels. "With travelers craving an escape, and a bit of fun, whether close to home or miles away on the opposite coast, we're delighted to offer hotels in the prime locations they desire, along with upscale amenities and little luxuries that make for an unforgettable experience. As we begin a new year, we look forward to bringing Cambria's brand-defining hallmarks to even more of guests' favorite places to visit, so they can stay at their best when on the road and immerse themselves in the culture of the destination."

In addition to the eight hotels that opened last year, Cambria broke ground on six properties in Downtown Austin, Texas; Columbia, South Carolina; Nashville West End, Tennessee; New York City Times Square and Niagara Falls, New York; as well as Orlando, Florida. There are more category defining hotels to come soon in locations like Austin Airport, TX, Sommerville, MA, and Historic Downtown Savannah, GA.

"Despite this challenging environment, we're pleased that the Cambria brand broke ground on six hotels in top-tier locations last year, including four in the fourth quarter alone," said Mark Shalala, senior vice president of development, upscale brands, Choice Hotels. "Cambria's continued growth is a testament to the brand's strong performance and the traction we've gained within the capital markets and lending community evidenced by the availability of both equity and debt our developers were able to secure for all these great projects. As we turn the page to 2022, we're excited to build on this growth by offering more development opportunities, whether new construction or adaptive reuse, in top leisure destinations and our new prototype developed specifically for secondary markets."
