Clarion Pointe opens in Statesville, NC

The Clarion Pointe in Statesville, North Carolina, is now open. It is owned by Shrina, Inc., led by Tika Shah and Jigar Majmundar.

It also is the 25th hotel to open for Choice’s relatively new midscale select-service brand.


The 104-room Clarion Pointe Statesville is near Lake Norman, the Charlotte Motor Speedway, local breweries and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Amenities include an outdoor pool and a fitness center. The hotel is pet friendly.

Other Clarion Pointe hotels have recently opened in Franklin, Tennessee; Rock Hill, South Carolina; and Beckley, West Virginia, and additional openings are expected this year in Tallahassee, Florida; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Syracuse, New York.

"The opening of the brand's 25th hotel is proof this concept is resonating with guests and developers — even despite the challenging travel environment — and we look forward to building on the brand's incredible success with openings in more of travelers' favorite destinations," said Megan Brumagim, vice president of brand management, design and compliance for Choice.

Choice launched the Clarion Pointe brand in September 2018.
