The Ascend Collection membership program from Choice Hotels International, Inc., announced its first property in Arizona, Xona Resort Suites in North Scottsdale. The 431-room resort is the membership program’s largest property in the Continental United States.
“With its outstanding location, rich amenities and gorgeous views, Xona is a welcome addition to our fast-growing network,” says Stacy Ragland, vice president for Ascend Collection from Choice Hotels International. “Ascend Collection offers the best of both worlds. Like all the portfolio’s properties, Xona will maintain the personalized service and local flair of an independent hotel, while also connecting to vast global resources designed to help drive guests to its doors.”
The Ascend Collection membership program is an upscale network of hotels that are historic, boutique or unique. Properties are located in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. As a member of this elite program, Xona becomes part of the Choice Hotels global reservations and distribution systems. It gains visibility before an international network of more than 13 million Choice Privileges rewards members. Additionally, the resort acquires marketing support and an online presence on ChoiceHotels.com, one of the industry’s most visited websites.
Xona is owned by Sunstone US Hotel, Inc., and operated by O’Neill Hotels & Resorts.
