One of the fastest-growing names in IHG Hotels & Resorts‘ premium portfolio, voco hotels has officially announced its entry into the Canadian market with three signature properties coming soon to Montreal, Toronto, and Niagara Falls. For Canadian travelers seeking upscale comfort with a casual, feel-good vibe, this marks the arrival of a brand that blends international reliability with charming, locally inspired touches.

With 100 voco hotels already open worldwide and nearly as many in the pipeline, Canada’s first trio of properties sets the stage for what could become one of the country’s most talked-about new hotel brands.

A Premium Brand with Personality

Since its launch in 2018, voco hotels has stood out for its ability to deliver reliable premium stays without sacrificing individuality. The brand’s three core hallmarks—“Come on in,” “Me time,” and “voco life”—shape a guest journey that begins with a warm welcome and continues with thoughtful service, comfortable rooms, and vibrant dining and social spaces.

Whether it’s a handwritten welcome card, a treat that speaks to local culture, or just the ease of check-in after a long flight, voco aims to make each stay feel personal and relaxed.

“voco hotels has emerged as a remarkable success within the IHG premium portfolio,” said 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 travelers to these new properties… as they experience what makes a voco stay special.”

Where You’ll Find voco in Canada

voco hotels is launching in three of the most dynamic and diverse travel hubs in the country, each with its own distinct flavor:

voco Niagara Falls – Fallsview

Opening: Late 2026

Perfectly positioned in Niagara’s iconic Fallsview district, this 232-room hotel will emerge from the conversion of an existing property into something entirely new. Split between two towers, voco Niagara Falls will invite guests to relax after a day of sightseeing, hiking, or wine tasting. The revamped lobby coffee shop, on-site restaurant, indoor pool, and fitness center will offer comfort and convenience with a modern refresh. Expect subtle nods to the heritage of the original structure alongside voco’s signature design flair.

voco Montreal

Opening: Mid-2027

Marking voco’s first ground-up build in Canada, the Montreal location reflects the city’s mix of artistry, academia, and energy. The 55-room hotel will sit close to the Montreal Convention Center, CHUM hospital, and the cultural corridors of Old Montreal. Designed with travelers in mind—whether business or leisure—the hotel will offer a welcoming lounge-style lobby, contemporary restaurant spaces, and interiors that echo the rhythm of Montreal’s urban pulse.

voco Toronto Airport West

Opening: 2027

Conveniently located near Toronto Pearson International Airport, this new-build hotel will be Canada’s first zero-emissions, carbon-neutral hotel under IHG’s Low Carbon Pioneers Program. With 180 rooms, a restaurant and bar, fitness center, and 3,500 square feet of meeting space, voco Toronto Airport West is designed for travelers who want to stay near the airport—without compromising on sustainability or style.

A Global Brand with a Local Feel

voco’s expansion in Canada mirrors its global momentum. In 2024 alone, the brand celebrated 45 new hotel signings, adding properties in India, Sweden, Mexico, and the United States—including in destinations like Moab, Utah, and Saranac Lake, New York. The strategy? Grow where travel demand meets character.

Part of what makes voco unique is its adaptability. Many voco hotels emerge from thoughtful conversions of existing properties, allowing the brand to enter markets quickly while preserving local architectural stories. The brand’s modular approach also means every voco hotel feels a bit different, often featuring regional art, materials, and flavors that make each stay memorable.

The Rise of Conscious Comfort

Beyond aesthetics and amenities, voco hotels are doubling down on sustainability. From eco-friendly linens and refillable bath amenities to energy-efficient lighting and low-waste kitchens, each property is expected to align with IHG’s broader Journey to Tomorrow commitment—aiming to reduce carbon footprints while enhancing guest experiences.

voco Toronto Airport West’s planned carbon-neutral operations will be a first in Canada and a milestone in the global hospitality landscape.
