ROCKVILLE, Md.- Franchised by Choice Hotels International, Inc., the Cambria Hotels brand continues its South Carolina expansion with the opening of Charleston's newest hotel, the Cambria Hotel Charleston Riverview.

The hotel is also convenient to the Charleston International Airport, The Citadel, College of Charleston, Medical University of South Carolina, Roper Hospital, the Ralph H. Johnson Veterans Hospital, and Folly Beach.
"Charleston is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States and hosts approximately 7 million visitors annually, making it a prime location to welcome multiple Cambria hotels," said Janis Cannon, senior vice president, upscale brands, Choice Hotels. "Guests will love the hotel's central location and unique design inspired by the city's rich history and Southern charm, including an oyster shell countertop in the bar and guestroom murals of the city's beloved pineapple fountain, an international symbol of hospitality."

- The hotel was developed by RREAF Holdings, a commercial real estate firm and will be managed by New Castle Hotels & Resorts, a leading third-party hotel management firm.
"With its charm, local shops, beaches, and renowned cuisine, it's no wonder why Charleston was ranked number one for eight-straight years by Conde Nast Traveler as the top tourism destination in the country," said Kip Snowden, CEO of RREAF Holdings. "We look forward to building on that recognition and providing visitors with an experience that exceeds their expectations with all of the upscale amenities that make for a memorable stay."
