ROCKVILLE, Md., May 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Choice
Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) revealed a new MainStay
Suites prototype at the 63rd annual Choice Hotels
Convention in Las Vegas. MainStay
Suites, Choice's midscale extended stay brand, appeals to
professionals and families who need a long-term hotel option. As
such, the new prototype delivers on providing guests everything
they need to feel at home all while enjoying the perks of a
hotel.
"Inspired by both hotel and home design trends, our new
prototype design incorporates an open-concept community room and
outdoor living area, with spaces for guests to relax, socialize and
work as well as sleeker amenities, modernized décor and new
appliances in all suites," said Caragh
McLaughlin, head of brand strategy, MainStay Suites, Choice
Hotels. "The prototype was created with input from extended stay
travelers and developers, and builds on the success of the 57 open
MainStay Suites."
The new prototype includes updates to The 'Breakfast Room' as
well as home design updates throughout the property. The 'Breakfast
Room' provides guests with the traditional continental breakfast,
in addition to high-top communal tables with recharge capabilities
for travelers. Key signature brand features were also updated,
including the distinctive MainStay roof line, MainStay Marketplace
and guest suites.
MainStay Suites is unveiling new on-property 'Like Home'
programs to complement the new prototype, including a communal
white board to inspire social engagement among guests, a lending
library with frequently-requested items available for guests to
borrow, and food and beverage updates in all properties.
"The new prototype is attractive to developers looking to
capitalize on both the business and leisure extended stay market
demand," said Brian Quinn, vice
president, franchise development, Choice Hotels. "Given the success
we've experienced with our Sleep Inn-MainStay Suites dual-brand
concept, updating the MainStay Suites standalone prototype was the
natural next step."
The Sleep Inn-MainStay dual-brand concept allows hoteliers to
service multiple customer segments all under one roof, while
delivering construction and operational efficiencies through shared
public space, back-of-house facilities and hotel staff.
