JAPAN | Garner Hotels has further expanded its portfolio in Japan, opening three new properties in the city of Osaka.
IHG Hotels & Resorts has continued the rapid international growth of its newest midscale conversion brand, Garner hotels, with the opening of its first three hotels in Japan, marking a significant milestone as Garner expands into the Asia Pacific region.
The three new hotels - Garner Hotel Osaka Honmachi Station, Garner Hotel Osaka Honmachi Midosuji, and Garner Hotel Osaka Honmachi Kita Semba, are now open to guests in Japan’s second-largest metropolitan city, Osaka. Guests can immerse themselves in the vibrant culture of the city, all while experiencing the brand’s ethos of ‘easygoing stays that get you on your way’.
Garner hotels are designed to offer quality, relaxed stays at an affordable price. The brand offers the all-important things that guests value most - a central location, convenient breakfast, and a great night’s sleep. The 24/7 Garner Shop also offers snacks, drinks, and other items to ensure guests have everything they need during their stay.
At the newly opened hotels in Japan, self-check-in stations offer an easy arrival experience, alongside local refreshments to welcome guests. At reception, a signature Garner feature wall showcases ‘Sketches of Humanity’, creating a distinctive welcome moment that reflects the diversity of the brand’s guests, and how the hotels brings people together.
“We’re thrilled to bring another new brand to Japan with the opening of our first Garner hotels in Osaka. Affordable, easy-going hotels are an increasingly popular choice for travellers in and outside of Japan and our Garner brand is perfect for those looking for a relaxed stay that’s full of character. We look forward to continuing the growth of this exciting new brand in Japan,” said Abhijay Sandilya, Managing Director.
The brand hallmark ‘Made with Character’ underpins the design of its hotels. Each hotel is purposefully different, celebrating the diversity of the brand’s guests and properties. This approach is evident at the new hotels in Japan, each showcasing its own personality, keeping its existing identity, and celebrating a different era of Osaka’s history – past, present, and future. In the guestrooms, Osaka-themed illustrations feature on the walls and guests can get comfortable in Garner-branded sleepwear during their stay.
