In-depth understanding: The brand story of the Comfort Hotel series
Choice Hotels International originated in Florida, USA in 1939 as Quality Courts, a non-profit membership organization founded by motel operators. Through setting service standards and mutual referrals, it became the first hotel chain in the United States. It transitioned to a for-profit company in 1963, moved its headquarters from Florida to Maryland in 1968, and changed its name to Quality Inns International in 1972.
After establishing the Comfort brand series in 1981, it quickly became the group's flagship brand. Subsequent acquisitions of brands such as Clarion, Rodeway Inn, Econo Lodge, and Sleep Inn further expanded the group from budget hotels to the high-end market. In September 2000, Choice Hotels Japan was established, with Comfort Hotel as its main brand for entering the Japanese market. Positioned similarly to Japanese chain business hotels, it has developed into a well-known chain business travel brand in Japan.
