Cambria Hotels—an upscale brand franchised by Choice Hotels International Inc.—introduced the Cambria Hotels Threads Collection, a new product offering that further elevates the brand’s commitment to creating a sense of place in each Cambria hotel. Leveraging the creativity of community artists from across the country, the first edition of the Threads Collection features three exclusively designed pairs of socks inspired by the surroundings of Cambria hotels in New England, South Carolina, and Arizona.
“At Cambria hotels, we strive to uplift the voices and local businesses in the communities where we are located,” says Janis Cannon, senior vice president, upscale brands, Choice Hotels. “By offering our guests a sense of place—from on-site offerings like menus featuring [local] ingredients and locally crafted beers, to special design touches that speak to the history of the destination, to a pair of destination-inspired socks—we are able to provide experiences that transcend the walls of our hotels.”
For a limited time, the Cambria Hotels Threads Collection will appear alongside the original artwork at Cambria Hotel Portland Downtown Old Port, Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista, and Cambria Hotel Downtown Phoenix Convention Center. Locals and visitors alike will experience these three Cambria hotel destinations through each signature design:
