On Thursday, December 6, executives and guests of Silver Spring, Md.-based Choice Hotels International will visit the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to celebrate the entry of Cambria Suites to New York with the ground-breakings of three Cambria Suites hotels in New York within 24 hours in what may be an industry "first."

Cambria Suites is entering the New York market during a hotel building boom when the demand for hotels in the upscale segment is outplacing supply. (Upscale is a lodging category determined by Smith Travel Research). These Cambria Suites hotels will be in Times Square, Chelsea and White Plains in nearby Westchester.

To mark this occasion, Steve Joyce, President and CEO of Choice Hotels International, will ring the NYSE Opening Bell.
