Choice Hotels brand Cambria has broken ground on the first Delaware development of its design-forward accommodations.

Construction has begun on Cambria Hotel Rehoboth Beach, which is expected to open in spring of 2024.

Upscale yet approachable

The four-story, 114-room Cambria will mark the brand’s first property in Delaware when it debuts. The site will feature upscale amenities and approachable indulgences that are designed to appeal to modern travellers.

The concept comprises multi-purpose indoor and outdoor spaces for productive work or relaxation, including indoor and outdoor pools, as well as poolside cabanas, a tiki bar and outdoor fire pits for gathering.

Design and décor will be inspired by the culture of Rehoboth Beach and the surrounding community. Contemporary and sophisticated guest rooms will be complete with design-forward fixtures, abundant lighting, plush bedding and private balconies, while immersive, spa-style bathrooms will feature Bluetooth mirrors.

On-site dining will feature freshly made food, local craft beer, wine and specialty cocktails, as well as to-go options. Other facilities will include 3,800 sq ft of multi-functional meeting and event spaces, and a state-of-the-art fitness centre.

Ceremony and anticipation

The Cambria Hotel – Rehoboth Beach was developed by Tauhid Islam of Pinnacle Hospitality Group, one of the largest hotel developers in Maryland. The company is a partner in the Cambria Hotel Ocean City – Bayfront.

Located at the intersection of John J. Williams Highway and Beebe Road, the Cambria Hotel Rehoboth Beach will be located minutes from popular Delaware beaches, including Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach and Lewes Beach.

Representatives from Choice Hotels and Pinnacle, along with local dignitaries including, Scott Thomas, executive director, Southern Delaware Tourism; and Carol Everhart, president and CEO, Rehoboth Beach – Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce attended a formal groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate the development milestone and express their excitement about the brand’s entrance to the Rehoboth Beach community.

Choice’s senior vice president, upscale brands, Janis Cannon said: “The groundbreaking of the Cambria hotel in Rehoboth Beach represents another proud moment for the brand and is the fourth official groundbreaking in less than two weeks.

“This Rehoboth Beach milestone marks Cambria’s entry into Delaware – and celebrates our continued collaboration with Pinnacle Hospitality as we grow the Cambria footprint throughout the region – but also because it commemorates yet another fantastic destination modern travellers who know and love the Cambria brand will soon have access to.”

There are currently 60 Cambria hotels open across the US in cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, New Orleans and Phoenix, with almost 70 hotels in the pipeline.
