    NORTH BETHESDA, Md., May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE:CHH), one of the largest lodging franchisors in the world, is celebrating a major achievement for the Ascend Collection brand with more than 400 independent resort, historic and boutique hotels open around the globe. Established as the first soft brand in the hotel industry in 2008, Ascend continues to be a vanguard in the upscale segment, delivering meaningful results for owners and memorable stays for guests as demand for bespoke hotel experiences continues to grow.

    Ascend Collection, an upscale soft brand by Choice Hotels International.

    As part of the next chapter of the brand's growth, Choice Hotels is streamlining the brand name as the "Ascend Collection" and unveiling a new logo paying tribute to its pioneering legacy while further embracing its mission to let each property's unique character shine.

    The Ascend Collection has 423 hotels open worldwide and is continuing its strategic expansion into high-demand leisure and urban markets with more than 70 hotels in the global pipeline. In 2024, the brand experienced an increase of more than 40% in total room numbers globally compared to 2023. The brand last year also entered new markets including Washington, D.C.; Park City, Utah; Vancouver; Mexico City ; Queensland, Australia, and recently signed a hotel in Calama, a city known as the gateway to Chile's majestic Atacama Desert.

    "Reaching more than 400 properties in the Ascend Collection is more than a milestone; it's a clear signal of the growing opportunity for owners," said Mark Shalala, Senior Vice President, Development, Upscale Brands, Choice Hotels International.  "The collection's expansion, particularly into new and exciting destinations like Chile, positions us even better to raise brand awareness and help drive more bookings and revenue potential for owners. With the benefits of being part of Choice Hotels' fast accelerating upscale business, the power of our franchisee support system and the brand's flexible operating model, now is the perfect moment to become an Ascend owner."

    Ascend's growth is just another marker of Choice Hotels' broader expansion and strengthening of its upscale portfolio. In 2024, the company expanded the number of its Upscale and upper upscale room count by 44% to over 110,000 rooms, which make up almost 20% of its room portfolio. Additionally, it invested in a major refresh of ChoiceHotels.com and the mobile app in December 2024, driving a 16% increase in lower-cost, direct bookings to upscale hotels since then. Following new enhancements this year, Choice Privileges, the company's award-winning loyalty program, has also become an even more powerful vehicle for attracting guests to upscale hotels, with up to 180,000 upscale rooms bookable today.

    New Logo: A Modern Look That Honors Ascend's Roots

    The new logo gives equal prominence to the words "Ascend" and "Collection," reinforcing the brand's status as the original soft brand in the industry. With a clean, simplified, and elegant style, the logo subtly complements each hotel, allowing its distinct identity to take center stage.

     "As Choice continues to strategically grow its upscale business, we remain dedicated to the opportunity that inspired the creation of the Ascend Collection," said Megan Brumagim, Vice President, Upscale Brands, Choice Hotels International. "In a market saturated with cookie-cutter hotels, Ascend offers bespoke experiences that guests increasingly crave. It also gives owners the flexibility to deliver elevated, experience-driven stays without compromising their vision, ensuring every experience at an Ascend hotel is unlike any other."

    Ascend's growing portfolio boasts a range of distinctive properties offering memorable guest experiences, including:

    • Ice Hotel— Kiruna, Sweden: A one-of-a-kind stay awaits at the world's first and largest ice hotel. Guests can spend the night in a suite sculpted entirely from ice and snow or enjoy the warmth and comfort of chalet-style hotel rooms with views of breathtaking winter scenery.
    • Amberes 64 — Mexico City, Mexico: This design hotel features modern aesthetics that mirrors Mexico City's diverse architectural landscape. It's a top choice for guests who want to stay in one of the city's hottest neighborhoods for dining and shopping, while still being close to top tourist attractions.
    • Copperhill Mountain Lodge — Åre, Sweden: This exclusive mountain resort, featuring rustic Scandinavian design, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Swedish countryside in Åre, one of Europe's most popular winter sports destinations.
    • Inn at I'On — Mount Pleasant, South Carolina: With its stately architecture and prime location in the picturesque I'On community, just minutes from historic Charleston, this hotel offers guests an authentic experience of Southern charm.
    • St. Charles Coach House — New Orleans, Louisiana: This hotel's history dates back to 1921, once serving as an automobile dealership before transforming to a true boutique hotel. Perfect for guests who want to immerse themselves in the NOLA's culture, the hotel is just a streetcar stop away from historic sites and local dining favorites.
