Products and Services

• Upscale, Extended-Stay Hotels

Chatham Lodging Trust specializes in investing in upscale, extended-stay hotels. These establishments are designed for travelers seeking accommodations for longer periods. They typically offer spacious rooms or suites with kitchens or kitchenettes, providing a more homelike environment. The target market for these properties includes business travelers involved in prolonged projects, families in the midst of relocation, and others in need of extended accommodation solutions.

• Premium-Branded, Select-Service Hotels

The company also focuses on premium-branded, select-service hotels. These properties are part of or affiliated with well-recognized hotel brands, ensuring a certain level of quality, service, and amenities. Select-service hotels are tailored to offer the essential services and amenities that guests value most, including comfortable sleeping areas, breakfast services, and free Wi-Fi, without the full range of dining and leisure facilities typically found in full-service hotels. This makes them an attractive option for both business and leisure travelers looking for convenience and value.
