Everhome Suites, the mid‑scale extended‑stay brand of Choice Hotels International, announced that it now operates 27 properties nationwide, marking the first time the brand has opened hotels in Texas and Kentucky. The milestone was announced on February 2 2026, with a follow‑up statement on February 3 2026, and was achieved through a partnership with Highside Companies.
The three new properties that bring the total to 27 opened earlier in 2025: the San Antonio, Texas location began operations in October 2025, the Bowling Green, Kentucky hotel opened in November 2025, and the Somerset, New Jersey property started serving guests in December 2025. The February 2026 announcement highlighted the brand’s growth trajectory and the completion of these openings.
Everhome Suites’ expansion underscores Choice Hotels’ strategy to build a high‑margin, cycle‑resilient extended‑stay portfolio. The brand’s growth is driven by demand from data‑center development and the “bleisure” trend, which together create a steady stream of longer stays and higher average daily rates. Reaching 27 properties places Everhome Suites among the first mid‑scale extended‑stay brands to hit this threshold, signaling strong brand momentum and operational execution.
Highside Companies, which secured $500 million in financing to support Everhome Suites projects, continues to play a key role in the brand’s expansion. The partnership demonstrates confidence in the extended‑stay model and provides the capital needed to scale the portfolio across diverse U.S. markets, positioning the brand for further growth in the coming years.
Matt McElhare, Vice President and Extended‑Stay Segment Lead at Choice Hotels, said the brand’s redesigned prototype “enhances project viability and elevates the guest experience.” He added that the collaboration with Highside Companies allows the brand to deliver a smarter, more efficient design that meets owners’ needs while positioning the properties for long‑term success.
The milestone comes as Choice Hotels reported opening 66 domestic extended‑stay hotels in 2025, the strongest year on record for the segment. With 45 Everhome hotels in the pipeline as of September 2025 and a focus on high‑margin growth, the brand’s expansion into Texas and Kentucky strengthens its competitive position in a rapidly growing market and sets the stage for continued portfolio development.
