IHG Hotels & Resorts launches Garner brand in Japan with three new openings in Osaka - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

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 ‘easy going 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 Garner 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 Garner hotels brings people together.

Abhijay Sandilya, Managing Director – Japan & Micronesia for IHG Hotels & Resorts, and CEO of IHG ANA Hotels Group Japan, said: “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.”

The brand hallmark ‘Made with Character’ underpins the design of Garner hotels. Each hotel is purposefully different, celebrating the diversity of the brand’s guests and properties. This approach is evident at the new Garner 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.
