IHG Hotels & Resorts has opened its first Canadian Avid hotels property in Vaughan, Ontario. Operating under the ownership of PI Cap, the Avid hotel Toronto – Vaughan Southwest is the first to open of four planned properties under the brand across Canada.
“With more than 180 hotels currently open across the nation, and more than 40 in the pipeline, Canada remains one of IHG’s fastest-growing markets," Jonathan Lund, regional VP, Canada franchise performance support at IHG Hotels & Resorts, said in a statement. "We are honored to work with PI Cap to introduce the ‘just right’ experience of our Avid hotels brand to the nation and the numerous travelers who visit Vaughan every day to enjoy the local attractions or conduct productive business. Additionally, this opening is just the beginning of what we expect will be positive and continuous growth for Avid hotels across Canada.”
Located 15 minutes from Toronto Pearson International Airport, the hotel has 119 rooms. Guests can purchase grab-and-go options and fresh coffee from Avid hotels’ signature “Good all Round” breakfast bar, along with expanded in-room entertainment options through the IHG Studio technology platform.
