Choice Hotels Asia-Pac has added two new hotels to its extensive portfolio, increasing its footprint in South Australia with the Comfort Inn The Lakes, and across the Tasman in New Zealand with Quality Suites Amore.
Choice Hotels has given a vote of confidence to the trans-Tasman hotel market, expanding its portfolio with two new additions from the region.
In South Australia, Comfort Inn The Lakes has joined the Choice Hotels network, while in New Zealand, Quality Suites Amore on the South Island has also been welcomed.
The former is a family-owned and operated venue situated in the Mt Gambier region that offers modern and comfortable rooms, an indoor heated pool and spa, fitness facilities, ‘grab and go’ breakfast, and more.

Across the Tasman in Christchurch, Quality Suites Amore is steeped in history and heritage, most notably through its proximity to the Riccarton Bush – an ancient, native forest that visitors and residents are welcome to wander through and relish the tranquil grove of tall kahikatea trees.
The property features apartment-style accommodation, offering an indoor pool, continental breakfast and parking for guests.
Speaking about the expansion of the portfolio, Choice Hotels Asia-Pac CEO Trent Fraser said he was "thrilled" to welcome new properties at what was a "critical" time.

“As we start to emerge from the COVID-19 crisis, it’s pleasing to see such overwhelming support and cooperation from both our new and existing franchisees," he said.
"Hotels in our network are already seeing the benefits since travel restrictions have eased, so I have no doubt that these new properties will experience a similar, positive uptake across their business.
"We’re steadily on the road to recovery, and it’s more important now than ever for owners, particularly those who are operating as an independent, to consider the benefits of partnering with a brand.
"The resources available to them via marketing programs, and a well-established and global distribution footprint have shown their value in a time of crisis.”
