ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the world's largest hotel companies, celebrated the grand opening of the new Cambria hotel & suites Rockville last night at the Rockville Town Square. To introduce the community to the brand, the hotel celebrated in style by hosting a show-stopping vintage carnival, complete with a fire-juggler, aerial performances and more. Guests were also treated to exclusive hotel tours and mingled with key executives and community leaders, including City of Rockville Mayor Bridget Newton, Steve Joyce, President and CEO of Choice Hotels, Michael Murphy, Senior Vice President of Upscale Brands at Choice Hotels, and Marc Dubick, President of Duball, LLC.

Built by Duball, LLC with institutional capital partner CIM Group, and operated by Crescent Hotels & Resorts, Cambria hotel & suites Rockville sits at 1 Helen Heneghan Way, two blocks from the Rockville Metrorail station and steps from top restaurants, shops and a movie theatre. The property also sits directly across the street from the Choice Hotels International headquarters.

"At Cambria, we look to provide business and leisure travelers with stylish, affordable lodging with upscale service. What better way to introduce this rapidly-growing brand to the City of Rockville than with an exciting, carnival-themed celebration?" said Steve Joyce. "Rockville is our home, and Choice Hotels is thrilled to bring our Cambria hotels & suites brand to city residents and the guests of the more than 100 large companies in the area."

The 140-room hotel spans eight floors of the 15-story west tower of the Rockville Town Square, one of two towers in the mixed-use high-rise complex. A parking garage is built into the building's structure, giving guests a convenient place for parking and allowing all rooms to enjoy an exterior view.
