NORTH BETHESDAChoice Hotels International, Inc. announces the opening of Cambria Hotel Burbank Airport. The new hotel offers 150 well-appointed rooms, a host of upscale amenities and is conveniently located just a mile from Burbank airport and a short distance from West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. The Burbank property was developed by Choice Hotels as part of its strategic development of Cambria hotels in well-situated markets, reflecting the company’s commitment to growing and expanding the brand. The company continues to invest in all aspects of Cambria to make it a standard-setting brand in its upscale portfolio.

The Cambria Hotel Burbank Airport is the latest example of high-quality hotels that continue to open under the Cambria Brand. This hotel reflects our deep commitment to the Cambria brand and was developed directly by the company. Burbank will offer an upscale experience that our guests will love and will soon become the jewel for the Burbank market. Indy Adenaw, senior vice president and general manager, upscale brands, Choice Hotels

This announcement highlights a strong recent record and momentum for Cambria Hotels. Burbank marks the 9th new opening since the start of 2023 and comes on the heels of Cambria winning the J.D. Power award for the highest-ranking brand in the upscale category. Even with this momentum, Choice Hotels continues to invest in strengthening and advancing the brand. An evolution to brand positioning work is now underway with RO New York, an award winning and accomplished agency, and a new design package is underway with Design Agency, another skilled design and architecture agency.

As part of Choice’s focused self-development strategy, the company strategically develops a small number of hotels such as Burbank, in select high-value locations to fuel brand growth and to advance key components of the brand and operating model. These assets are later sold to third party owners, along with the Cambria flag, as Choice maintains its commitment to the franchising business model.
