Connecticut Debuts Its First Ascend Hotel Collection Property

Ascend Hotel Collection by Choice Hotels International has opened its first Connecticut location: The Capitol Hotel in downtown Hartford. Recently renovated, the hotel serves both business and leisure travelers and offers views of the Connecticut State Capitol building. Its central location places guests within easy reach of Hartford’s top attractions and the major corporate headquarters that draw business visitors.

The Capitol Hotel features a range of guest amenities designed for comfort and convenience. On-site offerings include a new fitness center, flexible meeting and event spaces, complimentary breakfast, and on-site parking, all intended to support both short stays and extended business trips.

“As one of the nation’s oldest cities and a leading regional economy, Hartford blends modern amenities with historic character — a combination the Capitol Hotel captures well,” said Janis Cannon, senior vice president of upscale brands at Choice Hotels. “We’re excited to introduce the Ascend Hotel Collection to Hartford, a market with high barriers to entry, and we look forward to growing the brand in other popular destinations worldwide.”
