The ibis Styles in Birmingham NEC will be a 166 room hotel, Barnsley, a 117 room hotel, Crewe property with 112 rooms and Haydock with 102 rooms.
Two further properties will be opened in 2016, with a new build ibis Styles hotel of 47 rooms currently under way in Greenwich, along with a 140-room Ibis Styles hotel that will open at London Heathrow Airport.
Accor will also open the ibis London Canning Town, a 196-room property situated within Hallsville Quarter Development.

“The franchise deal for Crewe, Barnsley, Haydock, Birmingham and Greenwich not only reflects the strength of the ibis Styles brand, but recognises our excellent position as a franchise partner. These new signings are in line with our ongoing strategy to grow our economy offering.”
