Garner Hotels accelerates expansion under IHG umbrella Garner Hotels, a midscale conversion brand within the IHG Hotels & Resorts portfolio, has reached a significant milestone with 100 properties now open worldwide since its launch in August 2023. As IHG’s fastest-growing brand to date, Garner is gaining traction by delivering value for both guests and owners through a focus on essential comforts and a flexible, conversion-friendly development model. The brand’s rapid momentum continues, with nearly 80 additional hotels in the pipeline—set to almost double its global footprint in the coming years. With properties open or in development across 12 countries, Garner is expanding in key markets spanning the United States, Mexico, Italy, and Japan. The brand’s strong appeal among owners reflects rising global demand for conversion projects, which accounted for 52% of all IHG room openings in 2025. Competitive cost-per-key, streamlined design standards, lower pre-opening costs, and fast turnaround times have all contributed to its growth, with some hotels converting and opening in just over a month. Built around the promise of “easygoing stays that get you on your way,” Garner targets travelers seeking comfort, quality, and reliable service at an affordable price. Each hotel reflects its local surroundings while offering the amenities guests value most, including comfortable beds, restful sleep, and a satisfying hot breakfast. Functional workspaces, both in-room and in public areas, also cater to business and blended travel needs. Karen Gilbride, Global Vice President for Garner Hotels at IHG, said the brand’s early success highlights IHG’s strength in scaling conversion-focused brands that resonate with both owners and guests.#garner_hotels #ihg_hotels_resorts #novum_hospitality #mazatln_beach #butte_montana
