Wednesday, September 25, 2024 Germany welcomes IHG ’s luxury Kimpton and midscale Garner brands this year, with Candlewood Suites debuting in 2025, as IHG expands across Northern Europe. Germany is preparing to welcome two new brands from the IHG portfolio: the luxury boutique Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants and the midscale conversion brand Garner, both set to launch later this year. Additionally, IHG’s extended stay brand, Candlewood Suites, will debut in early 2025.
In other parts of Northern Europe, Hungary recently introduced its first Kimpton and Vignette Collection hotels, while IHG’s premium voco hotels brand made its debut in Sweden and signed a new property in Poland. IHG’s expansion continues with pipeline projects under the Hotel Indigo, Holiday Inn Express, and Holiday Inn brands in cities like Krakow, Munich, and Lublin. This growth is highlighted by 30 new Holiday Inn – the niu brand collaborations with NOVUM Hospitality since the signing of their long-term agreement in April 2024.
IHG now operates 197 hotels across 13 countries in Northern Europe, with an additional 169 properties under development. These include brands like Six Senses, Regent, InterContinental, Kimpton, voco, and Holiday Inn..
