Choice Hotels International Inc. has launched a newly redesigned prototype for its Everhome Suites brand.
Developed through close collaboration with developers, operators, general contractors, architects and suppliers, the next‑generation Everhome prototype builds on Choice Hotels’ investment‑led approach, while reflecting the insights and expertise of key stakeholders across the industry. Designed in response to evolving market conditions, rising construction costs and shifting guest expectations, it 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, according to the company.
“Extended stay continues to be one of the most compelling segments in lodging, and Everhome Suites is a key part of our growth strategy,” said Matt McElhare, VP & extended-stay segment lead, Choice Hotels International. “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 Everhome Suites prototype 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 to the previous prototype.
- Improved operational efficiency: Thoughtful design enhancements support streamlined operations and lean staffing models, helping owners manage expenses without compromising service.
- Elevated guest experience: The new prototype reflects a deep understanding of evolving guest expectations, prioritizing productivity and enabling guests to maintain their routines comfortably throughout extended stays. Apartment-style suites with full kitchens, flexible workspaces and contemporary design elements support productivity and comfort for longer stays.
“Extended stay remains a strong interest for owners, who want brands that can help them
navigate evolving market cycles with confidence.” said Ron Burgett, SVP, extended-stay development, Choice Hotels International. “This next‑generation Everhome Suites prototype reflects that opportunity. It brings together thoughtful design and operational discipline to simplify development and ensure the product resonates with today’s extended stay guest.”
The new prototype also increases capacity to approximately 120 suites. It was developed in collaboration with long-standing design and development partners, including BRR Architecture, the architect of record for Choice Hotels’ extended-stay brands.
The first groundbreakings for the new prototype are expected in the coming months.
