JANUARY 4, 2007. CQ Capital Partners to Build Hotel at Hartsfield/Jackson International Airport Developer interest in the new upscale Cambria Suites brand shows continued growth as worldwide hotel franchisor Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH) signs a new contract for a property at Atlanta's Hartsfield/Jackson International Airport, which had the world's largest number of passengers last year.

Construction on the new all-suites upscale hotel will be led by Georgia-based developers CQ Capital Partners, beginning mid-2007 on Best Road, next to the Atlanta Hartsfield/Jackson International Airport.

"We are excited to work with CQ Capital Partners in such a great market as Atlanta," said William Edmundson, vice president of brand management and strategy, Cambria Suites. "We are eager to open and meet the needs of Atlanta's travelers who want more from a hotel."

"CQ Capital Partners exude the exact kind of reputation and experience that we are looking for in developers of our new Cambria brand," added Brad LeBlanc, vice president, franchise sales, upscale and extended stay brand segments.

The 140-room hotel will be situated less than 1/4 of a mile from the airport as well as from the Georgia International Convention Center and downtown College Park. With rooms that are 25 percent larger than industry average, Cambria Suites offers customers a fresh, sophisticated and contemporary design rarely found in the lodging industry, including flat-panel TVs, upscale bedding and bathroom, stereo and CD player, refrigerator and microwave.

"The Atlanta Airport is the main economic driver for the city of Atlanta, and is brilliantly positioned to take advantage of the growing international travel throughout the world. As such, the Airport needs to be serviced by top hotel brands," said Keith Quarles Jr., senior vice president, CQ Capital Partners. "The addition of a top brand like Cambria Suites to the area will help realize the vision for the airport, City of Atlanta and the surrounding areas."

Cambria Suites, an all-suites hotel, boasts a design that is more intimate and less institutional than traditional hotel d'ecor and guestrooms that are 25 percent larger than standard hotel rooms. Hotels offer the latest in technology, from a large-screen plasma television in the lobby to two flat-panel televisions, MP3 jacks and CD/DVD players in the guestrooms and complimentary wired and wireless high-speed Internet access throughout the property.

All Cambria Suites hotels include Reflect, a hotel Lounge with barista bar; Refresh, a fitness center with an indoor pool and hot tub; and Refill, a 24-7 convenience store that will stock freshly prepared "grab 'n' go" items as traditional convenience store fare. In addition, all hotels will offer more than 1,000 square feet of meeting space.
