voco to make Canadian debut

voco hotels by IHG has marked its entry into the Canadian market with its first three regional signings. The new hotels will be in Montreal, Toronto and Niagara Falls.

“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,” said Scott Duff, VP, development, Canada, IHG Hotels & Resorts. “We are thrilled to add another country to voco’s growing list of destinations, welcoming Canadian travelers to these new properties in Montreal, Niagara Falls and Toronto Airport West as they experience what makes a voco stay special.”

voco Niagara Falls – Fallsview will be situated along the city’s 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 guestrooms spanning two adjoined towers. It will feature an on-property restaurant and revamped lobby area, with a coffee shop, indoor pool and fitness center.

The new-build downtown voco Montreal 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 guestrooms, a restaurant and lobby lounge concepts.

Situated near Toronto Pearson International Airport, the new-build voco Toronto Airport West will blend both convenience and environmental consciousness, according to the company. In addition to its 180 rooms, the property will include a restaurant and bar, fitness center and 3,500 sq. ft. of meeting space. Targeted to open in 2027, the hotel aspires to be a zero-emissions, carbon-neutral hotel—the first of its kind in Canada as well as the first in the country to participate in IHG’s Low Carbon Pioneers Program.
