Ascend Hotel Collection from Choice Hotels International, Inc. continues its global expansion with two boutique hotels- the gibson hotel in Dublin and Lindenwarrah in Milawa, Australia. With its latest additions, the group now has 108 properties in North America, Europe, the Caribbean, and Australia.
“Ascend Hotel Collection continues to gain prominence as it grows internationally,” says Michael Murphy, senior vice president of upscale brands at Choice Hotels International. “The Collection offers hoteliers and guests the best of both worlds-a unique, upscale experience coupled with the backing of one of the world’s largest hospitality franchisors. With each property offering its own local flavor and an uncompromising commitment to service, these newest member hotels align perfectly with our distinctive portfolio.”
Located in Dublin’s new cultural hub, the Zen-like gibson hotel offers 252 rooms featuring custom furnishings, a neutral color palette, natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, and Japanese copper baths on terraces boasting heady mountain or Dublin skyline vistas. The hotel’s courtyards continue the feel thanks to bamboo and water features.
Lindenwarrah combines the distinctiveness of a boutique hotel with the tranquility of its mountain and vineyard setting. Forty individually decorated guestrooms and suites, a fine dining restaurant, bar, spa, lounges areas with Australian artwork, and a rooftop terrace complete the experience.
