A hotel portfolio of properties largely in drive-to settings and outside major urban centers enabled Choice Hotels to clinch a profitable year despite a global pandemic that decimated travel demand.
Choice Hotels achieved a $7.9 million fourth quarter profit and $75.4 million profit for all of 2020, the company reported Monday. This is a major financial milestone within the hotel industry, as the pandemic’s impact created the worst year on-record for most travel companies. Hilton earlier in the day reported a $720 million 2020 loss, and Wyndham posted last week a $132 million 2020 loss.
