ROCKVILLE, Md., Dec. 19, 2019 // PRNewswire // - The Pine Lodge on Whitefish River and The Ridgeline Hotel at Yellowstone are among the newest additions to the growing Ascend Hotel Collection by Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), a global portfolio of independent resort, historic and boutique hotels.
With locations at the base of the Rocky Mountains on the Whitefish River and the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park, respectively, both hotels offer adventure-seeking guests a true taste of Montana by coupling exceptional service with unparalleled access to their favorite outdoor activities, including fishing, whitewater rafting, hiking and skiing. Additionally, each hotel features a myriad of guest-focused amenities, spacious guestrooms, pet-friendly accommodations, a fitness center and complimentary breakfast.
The Pine Lodge on Whitefish River and The Ridgeline Hotel at Yellowstone are both owned and operated by global hospitality and entertainment company Delaware North. The company also owns and operates The Ridgeline Hotel-Estes Park, which joined the Ascend Hotel Collection in 2018, and is located near Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.
"The Ascend Hotel Collection provides owners with the best of both worlds: operational independence and access to industry-leading technology and distribution capabilities. Since joining the Collection last year, we've experienced a 10% RevPAR lift at The Ridgeline in Estes Park, and are looking forward to leveraging these resources at our newest Ascend properties," said Jim McGrath, vice president of lodging for Delaware North.*
