Choice Hotels International Brings Cambria hotels & suites to Chandler, Arizona 

Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the world's largest hotel companies, is now welcoming guests at the new Cambria Hotel Phoenix Chandler Fashion Center. Concord Hospitality Enterprises worked with real estate firm Hines, architect DLR Group and general contractor Layton Construction to develop the project.

The 136-room, LEED-certified property is located in the heart of Price corridor, which is home to Intel, Microchip Technology, GM Financial and Bank of America Financial. Its location is adjacent to Chandler Fashion Mall, providing convenience and entertainment for business and leisure travelers alike. The hotel is also within close proximity to downtown Chandler, which offers a thriving food, brewery and arts scene.

Like all Cambria hotels, the Chandler property will feature the contemporary bistro Social Circle™, serving a menu comprised of local specialties created by Chef Michael DeMaria including liquor, wine and local craft beers, as well as freshly prepared grab-and-go gourmet salads and sandwiches

"We are thrilled to see this mixed-use project come to life in Chandler with the newly opened Cambria Hotel providing an additional option for travelers lodging in our growing city," said Chandler Mayor Jay Tibshraeny.

"Cambria Hotel Phoenix Chandler Fashion Center will be our fifth Cambria opening, with more Choice Hotels in development," said Mark Laport, president and CEO of Concord Hospitality. "Cambria hotels & suites are known for providing amenities and superior service to make guests feel at home, and we feel that value is augmented by the location advantages of this new property."

Cambria hotels & suites are designed to provide a unique and distinctive experience with the services and amenities that travelers demand, including chic décor, flexible spaces for meeting or socializing, stunning standard rooms that feel like an upgrade, and of course, free Wi-Fi, allowing guests to stay fully connected while they travel.
