Candlewood Suites, is a brand of the InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, which prides itself as the world’s largest hotel group by number rooms.
Candlewood of was started in 1995, by Jack Deboer, founder of the Residence Inn and co-founder of the Summerfield Suites. The first hotel was open in Wichita, Kansas in 1996. The brand's locations are extended-stay hotels focused primarily on corporate transient travelers. Typically corporate transient travelers stay only during the week, leaving the occupancy of the subject hotels lower during the weekend.
However, with true extended-stay business being over seven days, and many times beyond 30 days, it allows the hotel to maintain a higher occupancy average. While this occupancy generally comes with a lower average rate or Average Daily Rate (ADR), the Revenue Per Available Room Sold (RevPAR) is typically higher as a result of the significantly higher occupancy and penetration rate within the respective markets.
Typical amenities provided by Candlewood in line with brand standards include: spacious suites with amenities like fully equipped kitchens, free local calls, voice mail, data ports and phone lines.
In addition, hotels include an on-site convenience store called the Candlewood Cupboard, a free entertainment library of CDs and videos available at the front desk, complimentary guest laundry, a free 24-hour exercise facility, free fax service and an outdoor barbecue gazebo.
A "Brown Bag" breakfast is available for purchase, consisting of fruit, a granola bar, and choice of beverage. Candlewood Suites does not offer a free continental or hot breakfast at every location, though certain locations may offer one.
Also common to the Candlewood brand is a lack of swimming pool or extensive amounts of meeting space or expansive lobby. Consistent with the extended-stay business, housekeeping expense is greatly reduced since daily room cleanings are not provided to extended-stay guests.
