Choice Hotels Canada is celebrating its first Clarion Pointe branded hotels, with the opening of properties in Medicine Hat and Quebec City. The midscale select-service brand is known for its modern hotel experience, designed to create social environments and appeal to savvy travellers seeking to make the most of their experience.

“We are thrilled to extend the Clarion brand in Canada with Clarion Pointe,” said Brian Leon, president, Choice Hotels Canada. “From the thoughtful amenities to the useful technology incorporated in the room design, we look forward to introducing Canadians to a new hotel concept.”

The Clarion brand was launched in Canada in 1994 and currently has nine hotels in Canada. Clarion Pointe is an extension of the upper-midscale Clarion brand into the midscale space, offering elevated touches at a more affordable price point.

Clarion Pointe helps travellers to optimize their stay with features like contemporary design touches that guests will want to share, such as signature murals in the lobby inspired by local points of interest, or thoughtful food and beverage selections, starting with a complimentary breakfast and coffee, all the way through craft beer and wine in select locations and small bites available for purchase in the marketplace.

The Clarion Pointe Medicine Hat is located at 1100 Redcliff Drive SW and the Clarion Pointe Quebec Airport is located at 7300 Boul Wilfrid-Hamel Ouest.
