voco hotels, IHG’s fastest-growing brand, has inked deals to open three Canadian properties in the coming years. New builds in Montreal and Toronto and a conversion in Niagara Falls will mark the brand’s entry into the Canadian market, offering guests voco’s “distinctive charm” and commitment to sustainability.
“The voco hotels brand has emerged as a remarkable success within the IHG premium portfolio, as both owners and guests are drawn to its distinctive properties that seamlessly blend the individualism of each location with the reassurance of a brand they trust,” says Scott Duff, Vice President of Development, Canada for IHG Hotels & Resorts. “We are thrilled to add another country to voco’s growing list of destinations, welcoming Canadian travellers to these new properties in Montreal, Niagara Falls and Toronto Airport West as they experience what makes a voco stay special.”
According to the announcement, voco distinguishes itself as a premium hotel brand with swift check-in, warm and friendly hosted service, and locally inspired welcome treats. Comfortable rooms with “indulgent bedding” complement vibrant bar and restaurant spaces.
The first planned openings for voco hotels in Canada include:
voco Niagara Falls - Fallsview: voco Niagara Falls - Fallsview will assume a coveted space along the city’s highly travelled tourist district upon its slated opening in late 2026. A conversion of an existing hotel, the property will incorporate elements of the hotel’s heritage, featuring 232 guest rooms spanning two adjoined towers. After a day of adventure in Niagara Falls, Ontario, guests can opt to dine at the on-property restaurant or relax in the revamped lobby area, complete with a coffee shop, indoor pool and fitness centre.
voco Montreal: The new-build downtown Montreal hotel is the brand’s first Canadian property to break ground as it targets a mid-2027 opening. Located a short distance from the Montreal Convention Center, University of Montreal Health Centre and the gateway to Old Montreal, voco Montreal will offer 55 guest rooms and spacious restaurant and lobby lounge concepts.
voco Toronto Airport West: Situated near Toronto Pearson International Airport, this new build hotel will blend both convenience and environmental consciousness. In addition to its 180 rooms, the property will include a restaurant and bar, fitness center and 3,500 square feet of meeting space. Targeted to open in 2027, voco Toronto Airport West aspires to be a zero-emissions, carbon-neutral hotel.
The three hotels are part of voco’s rapid expansion plans that saw 45 new signings in 2024, market debuts in India and Sweden, and growth that brought its reach to 100 open hotels with 95 more in the pipeline.
