Choice Hotels International, Inc. has added the Equus to its Ascend Hotel Collection.
Located in the upperwest side of Waikiki, the ten-story, 67 guestroom Equus is owned and operated by a family rooted in the sport of polo; unsurprisingly, it is the only hotel in Waikiki that offers a direct connection to the North Shore, home of the Hawaii Polo Club. Rooms stay true to its Hawaiian horseback and sporting theme with equestrian inspired touches.
“The addition of the Equus represents a major milestone in bringing the Ascend Hotel Collection experience to new travelers in key destination markets,” says Michael Murphy, senior vice president of upscale brands for Choice Hotels International. “We have been seeking out the perfect partner and property to enter Hawaii for some time now and are excited to take another step in continuing to forge strong relationships with superior franchisees in top travel markets.”
