Clarion Pointe Celebrates 25th Hotel Opening As Brand Brings Affordable, Elevated Essentials To New Destinations

"At Clarion Pointe, we set out to provide savvy travelers with a new approach to the modern hotel experience: affordable accommodations with premium essentials in just the right places," said Megan Brumagim, vice president, brand management, design and compliance, Choice Hotels. "The opening of the brand's 25th hotel is proof this concept is resonating with guests and developers - even despite the challenging travel environment - and we look forward to building on the brand's incredible success with openings in more of travelers' favorite destinations."

Located at 715 Sullivan Road in Statesville, North Carolina, just outside the Charlotte metropolitan area, this 104-room Clarion Pointe in Statesville allows travelers to the area to be ideally situated near top attractions such as Lake Norman, the largest manmade lake in North Carolina; the Charlotte Motor Speedway; local breweries, and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Like all Clarion Pointe hotels, the brand's newest addition is influenced by the Clarion brand promise of creating social environments while transforming properties with a more modern guest experience. Hotels are specifically designed to appeal to savvy travelers seeking to make the most of their experience, in destinations that are ideally situated near their favorite attractions. Clarion Pointe allows travelers to optimize their stay with "focal pointes," such as:

• Contemporary design touches that guests will want to share with friends, such as signature murals in the lobby and guestrooms inspired by local points of interest.

• Thoughtful food and beverage selections, starting with a complimentary breakfast and coffee, all the way through craft beer, select wine and small bites available for purchase in the marketplace.

• Technology with on-demand connectivity to work or chill out, including 49-inch TVs with casting capabilities and free, streaming-strength Wi-Fi to stream shows from personal devices.

• Dedicated workout space featuring all the modern essentials, like cardio equipment and a strength-training station, to stay fit to the core.

"Choice Hotels is a longtime leader in the midscale segment, with a proven record of creating and growing brands that appeal to guests of today and tomorrow. It's just one of the many reasons why developers are seizing the opportunity to convert their limited-service properties into Clarion Pointe hotels, and why the brand continues to experience strong levels of guest satisfaction," said Tom Nee, senior vice president, franchise development, Choice Hotels. "Further, developers can take advantage of our discounts and incentives when converting their hotels, which help to offset costs and add even more value."

All Choice-branded hotels are participating in Commitment to Clean, an initiative that builds upon the strong foundation of franchisees' longstanding dedication to cleanliness with enhanced training and best practices for cleaning, disinfecting and social distancing.

The Clarion Pointe in Statesville was developed by Tika Shah and Jigar Majmundar of Shrina, Inc.
