International franchise group, Choice Hotels Asia-Pac, welcomes six new hotels to its extensive portfolio of properties in Australia and New Zealand increasing its footprint across New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia as well as the South Island of New Zealand.
In NSW, the new additions include two established properties in Tamworth - Quality Inn Ashby House Tamworth and CH Boutique Hotel - which both joined the Quality Inn and Ascend Hotel Collection respectively, as well as the Comfort Inn City Centre in Armidale which joins the Comfort hotel brand.
The Econo Lodge Border Gateway in Wodonga has also been welcomed as a new VIC-based addition while in South Australia the Quality Inn O’Connell, located in Adelaide, also joins the Choice Hotels Asia-Pac family.
In Christchurch, a historic boutique hotel - The Classic Villa - expands Choice Hotel Asia-Pac’s Ascend Hotel Collection portfolio in New Zealand, marking an award-winning and breathtaking new partner addition.
