Hilton and JM Hospitality Inc. have opened Spark by Hilton Toronto Markham, marking the brand’s entry into the Canadian market. Located about 17 miles north of Toronto, the property joins eight other Spark hotels in various stages of development across Canada.
Spark opened its first hotel in Mystic, CT, in September 2023, just nine months after the brand was first announced. In May, the brand marked its European debut with the opening of Spark by Hilton London Romford. Today, the brand has more than 50 open hotels and more than 275 hotels in the global pipeline.
“Spark has enjoyed tremendous growth and momentum in its first full year, indicating we really knew what we were doing when we introduced this brand,” said Bill Duncan, global category leader, All-Suites & Focused Service, Hilton. “Our launch in Canada is not only a major milestone but a clear demonstration of our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of travelers globally, and further demonstrates how our innovative and pioneering spirit continues to make us the leader in the hospitality industry worldwide.”
The 72-room hotel offers free breakfast, a business center and EV chargis close to major corporate headquarters, shopping districts and cultural attractions.
“Spark by Hilton’s debut in Canada marks an important next step in our global expansion strategy,” said Alissa Klees, brand leader, Spark by Hilton. “With our first hotel opening in Markham, we look forward to introducing travelers to a new level of contemporary comfort and innovative design, showcasing Hilton’s ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences worldwide.”
