The Garner brand, introduced during IHG’s Turkish Investor Day just a month prior, is gaining momentum worldwide with 79 signings and four openings. Garner hotels focus on providing guests with relaxed, purposefully different experiences at competitive prices, offering flexible design standards for investors and efficient conversion costs.
The new hotel will cater to transient travelers, leveraging its prime location near one of the world’s busiest airports, Istanbul International, which handles over 64 million passengers annually.
