Ascend is a new hotel brand within Choice Hotels International and is comprised of some of the finest historic, unique and boutique hotels throughout the United States. Early next summer the hotel will officially become a member of the group after the comprehensive hotel renovations are completed. Ascend will provide The Alex Johnson with much greater traveler visibility, a world class reservations service through Internet, call center and other distribution channels, a well renowned frequent traveler rewards program and the cachet of belonging to such a reputable group of properties.
In addition to the affiliation with Ascend, the owners of The Alex Johnson have purchased a Seattle's Best Café franchise, which will occupy the previous Landmark Restaurant space.
