IHG Hotels & Resorts is expanding its portfolio in the UK with the signing of a new 195-room property, Garner Hotel Haymarket Edinburgh. Set to open in the second half of 2025, this will mark the debut of IHG’s new midscale brand, Garner Hotels, in Scotland. This move strengthens IHG’s position in the essentials segment, catering to travelers seeking quality stays at competitive prices.
A Prime Location in Edinburgh’s Haymarket
Located directly opposite Haymarket Station, the hotel will offer guests easy access to the vibrant West End, one of Edinburgh’s most bustling areas. Whether for business or leisure, the hotel’s location ensures guests are just minutes away from a variety of restaurants, bars, and attractions, as well as the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC). The excellent public transport connections make it an ideal choice for travelers looking to explore the city or attend business events.
The new hotel will bring a fresh and modern approach to affordable luxury. Designed with the traveler in mind, it will feature convenient amenities, such as a 24/7 Bar/To Go café for satisfying snacks and a delicious breakfast that guests can look forward to each morning. Garner Hotels are known for offering reliable, quality stays with essential comforts, and this new Edinburgh location will follow that ethos closely.
A Growing Brand in Europe
Garner Hotels was launched in 2023 as IHG’s newest midscale conversion brand, building on the company’s established success in the UK and Ireland. The Garner Hotel Haymarket Edinburgh joins a growing portfolio of properties across Europe, with several more in the pipeline. Along with recently opened Garner Hotel Preston Samlesbury in the UK, the brand has a promising future with additional locations planned for Italy, Turkey, and beyond.
Commitment to Social Responsibility
The Garner Hotel Haymarket Edinburgh will also continue IHG’s dedication to social responsibility. As part of its efforts to support those in need, the property will partner with Action Against Hunger, donating £1 per guest stay for a limited time after its opening. This aligns with IHG’s long-standing multi-year partnership with the global organization to combat food insecurity and hunger worldwide.
