NEW YORK—Choice Hotels International, Inc. celebrated the grand opening of the new Cambria Hotel & Suites in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood.
Owned by We Care Trading Co. Ltd and operated by Concord Hospitality, Cambria Hotel & Suites New York – Chelsea sits in the middle of the Flower District. The neighborhood inspiration was highlighted in last night’s garden party-themed grand opening celebration.
“New York City is one of the liveliest, most beautiful, bustling cities in the world and we’re thrilled to introduce the Cambria brand to business and leisure travelers visiting the Big Apple,” says Steve Joyce, president and CEO, Choice Hotels International. “With companies like Google, Goldman Sachs, Spotify and American Express nearby, we are able to give travelers something that is often hard to find in New York—stylish, affordable lodging with upscale service.”
Within walking distance of Penn Station, Madison Square Garden, Macy’s Herald Square, the Empire State Building and Times Square, the 135-room hotel offers a Social Circle Bistro Restaurant, open morning and night serving a locally inspired menu and craft beer, and a rooftop lounge, which showcases downtown views.
“We’re excited to operate this hotel for We Care Ltd. and Choice Hotels, and to make our mark on the unique Chelsea market,” said Mark Laport, CEO of Concord Hospitality. “At Concord, we’re constantly looking for opportunities to grow in top-tier, urban markets. Given the success in opening our Cambria Hotel & Suites Washington, D.C. last year, we’re thrilled to be involved in this hotel as a second New York City Cambria is coming this fall in Times Square.”
