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.
Garner Hotel Osaka Honmachi
Station sees contemporary style meets the energy of Osaka. This modern
hotel captures the lively spirit of Osaka, blending a fun atmosphere with cozy
spaces that celebrate “the present” through a modern, colorful design.
Garner Hotel Osaka Honmachi
Midosuji is a fusion of tradition and modernity, incorporating natural
materials and a soothing colour palette based on Zen philosophy. Guests will be
able to take advantage of the self-check in.
Garner Hotel Osaka Honmachi Kita
Semba is an urban tribute to the vibrant spirit of Osaka as a historic
merchant town and the connections that bind its people. The green-toned design
embodies harmony with nature and a commitment to sustainability.
As
part of IHG Hotels & Resorts, guests of Garner hotels can enjoy the perks
of the industry-leading IHG One Rewards loyalty programme,
including the ability to earn and use points toward Rewards Nights and
Milestone Rewards such as late check out and food and drink.
