The signing marks a significant milestone for Garner, IHG's rapidly growing midscale conversion brand. Since its launch in 2023, it has expanded to 51 open hotels across countries including Japan, US and Germany, and 87 pipeline properties.
Garner Hotel Pattaya Central is being developed in partnership with Nova Park Company Limited, a longstanding IHG partner and leading developer in Pattaya. It will feature 153 thoughtfully designed rooms and suites reflecting Garner's signature modern aesthetic and elevated residential-style service in phase one of its opening.
Each Garner hotel is purposefully different and designed to deliver a relaxed and comfortable experience for guests who value genuine human connection over luxury. With convenient locations, comfortable beds, free Wi-Fi, bean-to-cup coffee, and snacks available at the Garner Shop, the brand is focused on delivering the all-important basics guests want from a stay.
Quick-to-market conversions represented about 57% of IHG's room openings globally in H1 2025, while in Southeast Asia, conversions represented more than a third of its signings and about a quarter of its openings over the same period. This demonstrated the increasing demand from ownership groups to gain fast access to IHG's enterprise system and channels to support performance and drive returns.
With three quarters of IHG's system size in the mainstream segment, Garner's Southeast Asia launch will provide a leading choice for owners seeking higher returns in the midscale segment, and guests seeking great value stays at high-quality properties.
An hour's drive from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport and 90 minutes from Bangkok, Pattaya is a popular tourist destination, renowned for its beaches, cuisine and shopping streets. Ideally located in the heart of the city, Garner Hotel Pattaya Central will feature an all-day dining restaurant, swimming pool, fitness centre and DIY laundry.
The hotel will be the fourth IHG property to open in Pattaya, after InterContinental Pattaya Resort, Holiday Inn Pattaya and Holiday Inn Express Pattaya Central. It will join an IHG estate of 40 open hotels and 41 pipeline properties in Thailand.
