Choice Hotels International has partnered with Maplewood Hotels & Resorts to develop new Cambria Suites properties in Canada.
Maplewood is a joint venture between Driftwood Hospitality Management and Pacrim Hospitality Services Inc.
“The lodging sector in Canada is experiencing momentous growth, making it the ideal market to bring the Cambria Suites brand to key locations,” said Carlos Rodriguez, Driftwood’s executive vice-president. “Through our strategic partnership with Pacrim, Maplewood is perfectly poised to introduce Cambria Suites to today’s Canadian traveller in key urban markets.”
“Choice Hotels is excited to share the Cambria Suites experience with Canadian travellers. The brand continues tremendous growth in top-tier, key markets and Canada is an ideal location,” said Michael Murphy, senior vice-president, upscale brands, Choice Hotels International. “The unique blend of style, smart design and sophisticated technology that is the Cambria Suites experience is sure to resonate well within this market.”
Designed as a lifestyle hotel brand, all Cambria Suites properties are new-construction and feature a larger lobby to give guests a more social atmosphere; all-suite rooms that are larger than standard hotel rooms and include separate living, working and sleeping space; and the latest MediaHub technology that allows hassle-free Internet connectivity for a variety of electronic devices during their stay.
Like all Cambria Suites hotels, the properties in Canada will also feature the core fine amenities for which the brand has become renowned: Reflect, a contemporary bistro featuring a dinner menu comprised of local specialties, as well as a full bar and freshly prepared grab-and-go gourmet salads and sandwiches; Refill, a barista bar featuring coffee and a hot breakfast buffet; and Refresh, a state-of-the-art fitness centre.
