Choice Hotels International announced the debut of a newly redesigned prototype for its Everhome Suites brand. Everhome Suites, according to Choice, are newly constructed, midscale hotels featuring apartment-style suites with fully equipped kitchens, flexible workspaces, modern public areas, fitness centers and self-service marketplaces.
Designed in response to evolving market conditions, rising construction costs and shifting guest expectations, according to the announcement, the prototype “represents a smarter, more efficient approach to hotel development — one that helps owners build with greater confidence while delivering a high‑quality, modern extended stay experience for guests.”
Matt McElhare, vice president and extended stay segment lead, said, “This redesigned prototype demonstrates how we’re applying real-world insight and disciplined innovation to help owners succeed — helping to lower development costs, and deliver the experience today’s extended stay guests expect.”
The redesigned prototype, according to the announcement, is anchored in three strategic priorities:
- Lower cost to build: Refined layouts and material efficiencies reduce average development costs per room by approximately 13% compared with the previous prototype.
- Improved operational efficiency: Design enhancements support streamlined operations and lean staffing models, helping owners manage expenses without compromising service.
- Elevated guest experience: Apartment-style suites with full kitchens, flexible workspaces and contemporary design elements support productivity and comfort for longer stays.
The new prototype also increases capacity from 114 to approximately 120 suites, according to the announcement, enhancing overall project economics while maintaining the brand’s midscale positioning.
The first groundbreakings for the new prototype are expected in the coming months, marking the next phase of Everhome Suites’ continued expansion, according to the announcement.
