Choice Hotels

Choice Hotels International (NYSE: CHH) is a United States hotel franchisor headquartered in North Bethesda, Maryland, operating 7,575 hotels with 656,825 rooms open across 49 states, the District of Columbia and 50 countries and territories as of December 31, 2025. Its brands include Comfort, Quality, Clarion, Sleep Inn, Econo Lodge, Rodeway Inn, MainStay Suites, Suburban Studios, WoodSpring Suites, Everhome Suites, Cambria Hotels, Ascend Hotel Collection and the Radisson Americas brands. Choice sits on the supply side of the travel distribution chain as a franchisor rather than an owner: its proprietary choiceEDGE central reservation system pushes rate, inventory and availability to ChoiceHotels.com, the Choice Privileges mobile apps, the global distribution systems (Sabre, Amadeus), the OTAs (Expedia, Booking.com) and metasearch (Kayak, Tripadvisor), while its proprietary choiceADVANTAGE property management system runs the majority of its franchised properties. API posture is honestly none-published — no public developer portal, no published API reference, no machine-readable contract, and no exit path. A TIBCO Mashery API gateway answers at api.choicehotels.com but every probed path returns ERR_596_SERVICE_NOT_FOUND, and developer.choicehotels.com is an unprovisioned Mashery CNAME returning 404 under a mashery.com certificate. All real integration is reached through gated franchisee and vendor channels (connect.choicehotels.com, choicecentral.com, the SkyTouch /CONNECT interface program) that require a commercial agreement.

Choice Hotels is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Travel, United States, Hospitality, Hotels, and Booking.

Choice Hotels’ developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 15 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/choice-hotels: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
