Sonesta International Hotels Corporation has launched Americas Best Value Studios by Sonesta, an extended stay extension of its Americas Best Value Inn (ABVI) brand. The new brand is intended to address growing demand for longer-term, value-driven accommodations.
“Americas Best Value Studios by Sonesta represents a strategic evolution of our trusted Americas Best Value Inn brand,” said Keith Pierce, Sonesta’s EVP & president of franchise development. “We are expanding our offerings to directly address the increasing demand within the extended stay segment, providing a practical and comfortable solution for travelers seeking longer-term lodging at an exceptional value. This new brand type allows our local franchised owner-operators to tap into a growing market while maintaining the friendly community-focused experience that Americas Best Value Inn is known for.”
Each studio suite includes a kitchenette equipped with an apartment-sized refrigerator, a stove top, a microwave and a sink. Operational features include a front desk presence, bi-weekly housekeeping, mandatory on-site laundry, morning coffee service, vending options and an optional lobby market. All locations are required to offer pet-friendly accommodations.
Americas Best Value Studios is part of the ABVI portfolio, which emphasizes simple and friendly accommodations at an accessible price point, primarily in secondary and tertiary markets. The brand operates on a franchised model, allowing local entrepreneurs to manage properties and deliver comfort and convenience to guests.
The model is designed to suit owners seeking an extended stay concept with limited front desk and housekeeping staffing, an optional fitness center and lobby market, and reasonable brand standards. Guests can earn or redeem points through the Sonesta Travel Pass guest loyalty program.
Americas Best Value Studios by Sonesta expands the ABVI brand into the extended stay segment while maintaining the community-focused experience that the original brand provides.
