IHG® Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has announced the signing of a franchise agreement for Garner Hotel Jagdalpur, marking the brand’s entry into the state of Chhattisgarh.
The 117-key hotel will be developed by Freedom Hospitality and managed by United Hospitality Management (UHM), one of IHG’s trusted third-party management companies in India.
IHG’s newest midscale conversion brand, Garner™, builds on the company’s strength in the essentials segment, offering quality stays at an accessible price point. Designed to deliver a relaxed and flexible guest experience, the brand caters to value-conscious travellers seeking dependable comfort supported by IHG’s global enterprise systems.
Located in Jagdalpur in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh and set to open in 2029, the hotel is well positioned to benefit from the city’s accelerating economic momentum. This growth is being driven by ongoing infrastructure development, mining activity and the expansion of small and medium enterprises, supported by favourable government initiatives.
Garner’s continued expansion across India reflects IHG’s commitment to unlocking growth in the country’s dynamic emerging cities, where demand for branded, high-quality hospitality continues to outpace supply.
