Cambria Hotels, an upscale brand designed for modern business travelers, celebrated one of South Boston's newest additions and its first location in Massachusetts – the Cambria Hotel Boston, Downtown-South Boston – with an exclusive unveiling and ribbon cutting event.

Executives from the hotel brand franchisor Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) attended the event and delivered formal remarks highlighting the hotel's unique design and ideal location to commemorate the occasion. Representatives from the hotel's Boston-based owner, City Point Capital, and architect, RODE Architects Inc., also attended the celebration.

"Local authenticity coupled with little luxuries are hallmarks of Cambria Hotels and this property – a true gem in our system – is a gleaming example of what the brand is all about," said Janis Cannon, senior vice president, upscale brands, Choice Hotels. "Boston's first Cambria underscores our commitment to growing the brand in urban markets where modern travelers want to be most. Boston, home to some of the nation's most renowned corporations, universities and cultural attractions, exudes both rich tradition and progressive modernity, and the Cambria Hotel Boston, Downtown-South Boston puts experience-hungry guests at the center of it all."

The Cambria Hotel Boston, Downtown-South Boston features design-forward amenities that bring the essence of Boston to life for modern travelers, including:

• Stylish guest rooms, featuring walnut-finished platform beds with plush linens, modern fixtures, abundant lighting, and spa-like bathrooms. Each guestroom is also uniquely adorned with quotes from famous New England literature, such as the Scarlet Letter and The Bell Jar, and master Massachusetts-based storytellers including Henry David Thoreau, Louisa May Alcott, and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
