Garner Hotels Expands to 100 Properties Worldwide With Pipeline in 12 Countries Garner Hotels, a midscale conversion brand under IHG Hotels & Resorts, has reached 100 open properties globally since its launch in August 2023. This milestone marks the fastest global scaling of any brand in IHG’s history. The brand now operates or has projects in development across 12 countries, including the United States, Mexico, Italy, Japan, and others. A pipeline of nearly 80 additional hotels is expected to nearly double its global footprint in the coming years. The expansion is driven by factors such as a competitive cost-per-key ratio, flexible design standards, reduced pre-opening costs, and an accelerated turnaround process. Some properties have completed conversions in under a month from signing to opening. In 2025, conversion properties accounted for 52 percent of all IHG room openings, highlighting the brand’s growth strategy. In the Americas, Garner recorded 32 signings and 23 openings in 2025, the third-highest totals among IHG brands in the region. Notable projects include the brand’s first property in Mexico, Garner Hotel Mazatlán Beach, as well as new locations in Butte, Montana, and near Arizona’s Lake Powell. For 2026, the brand plans to open properties in suburban Boston and the greater New York City area. Across Europe, Middle East, Asia & Africa (EMEAA), Garner opened 43 hotels in 2025, the most of any IHG brand in the region that year. This growth was partly fueled by a 2024 agreement with NOVUM Hospitality, which paved the way for 56 open and pipeline properties in Germany. In 2025, the brand also launched its first hotels in Italy (Garner Hotel Rome Aurelia), Türkiye (Garner Hotel Istanbul – Airport Arnavutköy), and the United Kingdom (Garner Hotel Preston Samlesbury).#japan #germany #mexico #garner_hotels #ihg_hotels_resorts
