This brand is part of IHG’s suite collection, geared toward extended-stay guests, one of the fastest-growing segments within the industry and one that has performed best in recent years.

Candlewood Suites Guadalajara Galerias is owned by Roomie Hotel Ownership and operated by Operadora Internacional Monbyhotels, while IHG Hotels & Resorts participates as the brand’s franchisor.
The second property, avid Hotel Guadalajara Avenida Vallarta Poniente, is an IHG brand also debuting in the city. This is one of IHG’s youngest and most dynamic lodging lines. Disruptive in its market segment, it has gained momentum thanks to its distinctive brand promise: to offer the essentials done exceptionally well, at a fair price. Its attributes and differentiators give it a unique personality, which has allowed it to grow rapidly in North America, including Mexico, where it has 2 more properties already open in Tijuana and Fresnillo, and more than ten in development for the next few years.
avid Hotel Guadalajara is owned by Grupo Ferran and is located within Plaza Epicentra, a commercial complex on Av. Vallarta and Periferico Norte, close to several industrial parks in the western part of the metropolitan area and which offers services such as exchange offices, clothing and convenience stores, cafes, deli and restaurants. The new avid Hotel is also the closest hotel to Akron Stadium and from it you can reach the town of Tequila in 45 minutes.
This new property has 124 rooms, a gym, spaces for breakfast, relaxation and co-working, a convenience market and underground parking. Half of its rooms have a view of the marvelous Bosque de la Primavera, one of the lungs of the city.
The hotel offers travelers just what they need: its rooms are fresh, comfortable and modern, designed for a restful night’s sleep. All are equipped with the IHG Studio, allowing guests to project their entertainment directly from smartphones and personal devices onto the 55-inch televisions. Plus, the IHG Connect service provides Wi-Fi with a seamless browsing experience.
Complimentary “grab & go” breakfast includes a hot breakfast option that can be enjoyed in the dining room or on the go and is complemented by a select number of premium items and freshly brewed coffee. Guests will have an optimal rest thanks to a mattress and bedding of the best quality, acoustic insulation in walls, windows, materials and design, as well as black out blinds. Its functional rooms also include a work space and an open wardrobe, while the IHG Clean Promise brand standard guarantees the highest standards and quality protocols in hygiene and cleanliness.
Jorge Apaez, Chief Operating Officer for Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean at IHG, commented: “Debuting two brands in a destination as relevant as Guadalajara is undoubtedly an occasion to celebrate. These openings are a testament to the diversity of our portfolio, which empowers each guest to choose the ideal hotel for their trip, as well as the trust that IHG brands and our business model inspire in our franchisees and business partners. Both properties are positioned to become the favorites of travelers in their respective segments.”
With these openings, IHG adds 242 rooms to its portfolio in the capital of Jalisco, well known for its cultural heritage and also as a growing power in innovation and technology.
