Silver Spring, MD - Choice Hotels International recently announced the Cambria Suites hotel in Appleton, Wisconsin opened its doors to guests earlier this month. This marks the second Cambria Suites hotel to open nationwide and the first to open in Wisconsin. Cambria Suites hotels are designed for guests who want to take their lifestyle with them when traveling, and hotels feature a stylish design with guest suites that are 25 percent larger than standard hotel rooms.
The 100-suite hotel, located at 2940 North Gateway Drive, is owned and operated by hotel developer Swift Hospitality Group of Freeport, Illinois. Swift Hospitality is also developing the 137-room Cambria Suites hotel in Schaumburg, Illinois.

The hotel offers the latest in technology, including a 52-inch television in the open, airy two-story lobby and each suite includes two flat-screen LCD televisions, a CD/DVD player, and MP3 jacks. Select suites offer MediaHub plug-and-play technology allowing guests to connect their laptop, MP3 player, game console, digital camera, or CD/DVD player hassle-free. Free high-speed wired and wireless Internet access is available throughout the hotel, so that guests can stay connected when on the road.
"Our organization became interested in the Cambria Suites brand once it was announced two years ago, as we sought to develop more of a position in select-service hotels," said Dave Swift, president and chief executive officer for Swift Hospitality Group. "Cambria Suites offers us the complete package- the right architecture, operating model and customer demographics."
The Cambria Suites Appleton features Reflect, a dining and gathering area serving a dinner menu, liquor, wine, beer, and a barista bar featuring Wolfgang Puck coffee, and a hot breakfast buffet; Refresh, a state-of-the- art fitness center with a resort-style indoor pool and hot tub/spa area; and Refill, a 24-7 convenience store that offers energy drinks, organic snacks, and sundries as well as freshly prepared grab-and-go gourmet salads and sandwiches.
