Popularity of extended stay continues
The agreements demonstrate the continued popularity of the extended stay segment amongst owners and guests. They also reflect on the strength of IHG’s brand portfolio to deliver stays in the all-suites segment – ideal for guests seeking a more spacious or a longer stay experience.
These recent additions to the Staybridge Suites portfolio will include fully equipped kitchens in each suite, ample amenities such as a fitness room and convenience store both open 24-hours, laundry facilities and storage lockers.
Each property also offers a daily breakfast buffet, light bites and an evening happy hour event, The Social, hosted three nights a week to bring guests together for complimentary small plates and beverages.
Willemijn Geels, Vice President, Development, Europe, IHG Hotels & Resorts, commented: “The three latest signings follow the opening of Staybridge Suites Cannes Centre, France, in December 2023. This shows the great appetite for our all-suites offering across Europe as we meet a growing need for trips that blend business and leisure, or for guests staying multiple nights seeking both productivity and relaxation.
“Globally, the brand’s pipeline equals more than half its current open footprint, showing long-term confidence from our owners who are increasingly investing in this brand in new and dynamic markets. We are delighted to work with our trusted partners to bring these hotels to life, and we can’t wait to see them thrive.”
