ETAP HOTEL’S TRANSFORMATION INTO IBIS BUDGET
Accor created the ibis budget brand as part of its economy brand dynamization strategy whereby ibis acquires mega-brand status and encompasses the three other brands: ibis, ibis Styles and ibis budget which all have shared DNA based on modernity, simplicity and well-being.
The entire network, currently still under the Etap Hotel/Formule1 banners – or a total of 518 hotels in 17 countries – will gradually be converted to the ibis budget banner.
This transformation marks a turning point in the brand’s expansion strategy with several growth projects in the pipeline. The brand is the European leader and intends to expand into new countries, notably with the new ibis budget Porto Gaia due to open in Portugal in the first half of 2012.
The brand’s next new hotels are due in December with the opening of the ibis budget Grenoble Sud Seyssins in France, the ibis budget Leysin in Switzerland and the ibis budget Bonn Süd Königswinter in Germany.City.Mobi
