 Landmark opening underscores the company's scale, including 12 consecutive quarters of double-digit extended stay growth and continued investment across its portfolio

NORTH BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), today announces the opening of its 600^th extended stay hotel, a milestone that reinforces the company's position as the largest franchised multi-brand portfolio in economy and midscale extended stay. The achievement reflects Choice Hotels' expanding scale, more than three decades of segment expertise, and sustained investment in the dedicated teams and capabilities that help franchisees perform in one of hospitality's fastest growing segments.

The Everhome Suites Denver Airport is the company's 600^th extended stay hotel and is located under ten miles from one of the nation's busiest transportation hubs. The hotel sits in a market supported by the types of recurring demand generators that are fundamental to the segment, including healthcare, logistics, construction and infrastructure activity, and major employment centers. Designed for longer stays, the property offers spacious studio and one-bedroom suites with full kitchens and flexible living areas to help travelers maintain their routine. Guests can also enjoy nearby attractions like Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Denver Zoo, and the Green Valley Ranch Golf Club.

"The opening of our 600th property is a celebration of how far we've come and a signal of where we're headed, with Everhome Suites leading the way," said Matt McElhare, Vice President and Extended Stay Segment Lead, Choice Hotels International. "This category demands a deep understanding of a unique guest and disciplined operations, and we've built our business on that foundation, with a team dedicated extended stay experts, focused on helping drive hotel performance and advising franchisees on the highest-growth opportunities and markets. Our scale allows us to keep investing in new capabilities and innovation that propel franchisee performance in a dynamic, competitive environment, and our momentum is proof that approach is working."

Everhome Suites is built for the future of extended stay and is emerging as a key growth engine within Choice Hotels' portfolio. With a significant runway to continue to expand its footprint, the brand is designed to meet the evolving needs of both guests and owners underscoring the company's ambition to build Everhome Suites into a major presence in the biggest white space opportunity in extended stay.

"Everhome Suites has been a natural complement to our WoodSpring Suites portfolio, giving us an elevated purpose-built extended stay product that serves a different guest in high-demand markets," said Micah Linton, CEO, Rimrock Companies, owner of Everhome Suites Denver Airport. "This is our second Everhome Suites to open, with several more in the pipeline, and we're excited about the opportunities we see across the segment. Our relationship with the Choice Hotels extended stay team goes back many years, and that partnership has been central to our growth. We're proud that this hotel carries the distinction of being Choice Hotels' 600th extended stay property."

Choice Hotels' extended stay portfolio is comprised of four distinct brands: Everhome Suites, MainStay Suites, Suburban Studios, and WoodSpring Suites, each of which have their own clear-cut options for developers and their specific development strategies. Midscale extended stay is a growing strength for Choice Hotels, where the company's deep expertise and significant scale have created a differentiated leadership position. The segment has now delivered 12 consecutive quarters of double-digit rooms growth, including 13% net room growth year-over-year in the second quarter of 2026. The company also has nearly 30,000 extended stay rooms in its development pipeline. Fueled by strong owner demand and disciplined development, Choice Hotels offers guests a variety of stay options while giving owners access to a scaled, well-established extended stay platform. That established scale gives the company the ability to continue investing in new tools, capabilities and innovation that strengthen hotel performance and keep franchisees competitive as the segment evolves.
