Some of the enhanced and interactive features of the new site include:

§ Easily compare rates and packages according to needs and interests.
§ Personalization feature to save favorites for trip planning and faster future booking.

“Our new site features streamlined booking and hotel selection options that will improve our guests’ online experience with a goal of increasing conversion rates and delivering more reservations for our hotel franchise owners, “ said Mary Beth Knight, senior vice president of eCommerce and Global Distribution. “With the launch of our new ChoiceHotels.com website, we’re continuing to leverage and optimize the strength of our direct online distribution channels.”
Other recent innovations in the eCommerce realm from Choice Hotels include the recent launch of the hotel industry’s first-ever global application for the iPhone in 2009. The company continues to expand the range of support it provides for mobile applications, including smartphones and mobile devices.
Razorfish, one of the world’s largest digital agencies, worked with Choice Hotels to craft the strategy behind the site’s new design, created the visual design elements and executed the front-end development.
Guests and travel agents alike can now discover the world of Choice Hotels and book easily with the new ChoiceHotels.com.
