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.
