Where to Stay When Visiting Choice Hotels (Bethesda)
Choice Hotels's headquarters is in Bethesda. Three airports serve the DC area — and Metro reaches some campuses. Which you pick decides the trip.
Choice Hotels is a hotel-franchising company (Comfort, Quality, Cambria, and Radisson Americas), headquartered at 915 Meeting St, North Bethesda, MD 20852. That's Bethesda — the affluent Maryland suburb just over the DC line, home to Marriott International, Lockheed Martin, Host Hotels, and Choice Hotels, on Metro's Red line.
“Choice Hotels is up in North Bethesda at Pike & Rose. Book the Bethesda North Marriott by the Metro a few minutes away.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
