Atwell Suites is IHG’s newest brand, introduced in 2019 as a design-led, dynamic, all-suites hotel brand optimised for longer stays of up to six nights.
The brand has been well received by owners with 20 properties now under planning and development, across the U.S., in vibrant markets such as Austin, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; Denver; and Phoenix. Construction is expected to begin on additional Atwell Suites properties in the coming months.
Karen Gilbride, Vice President, avid hotels and Atwell Suites, IHG, commented: “The all-suites segment is fast growing and remains very resilient with strong owner interest throughout 2020. We congratulate Sunview Companies, and our other owners who have been among the first to sign on to develop an Atwell Suites hotel.”
