IHG Hotels & Resorts has continued growing its upscale extended stay brand, Staybridge Suites, with new signings in popular European cities like Budapest, Antwerp and Belfast.
The new agreements will lead to 380 more suites in the Staybridge Suites portfolio in Europe. The Staybridge Suites Budapest - Parkside in Hungary will open in 2027 and is the first of the brand in Hungary. It will offer 152 suites in Budapest’s 13th district, located near the City Park, Vaci Street and other important attractions.

The Staybridge Suites Antwerp in Belgium will offer 99 suites when it opens in late 2026. Another brand debut, the hotel will offer a close connection to nearby train stations, the city center and the diamond district.
The Staybridge Suites Belfast, which will feature 132 suites, will open at the end of 2027 in Northern Ireland. Its location will offer proximity to some of the city’s most iconic attractions, including the City Hall, Gasworks and Dublin Road.
Another brand debut will be the Staybridge Suites Malaga in Spain. The 105-suite hotel, part of the Urban Sky Project, will open later this year.
The new hotels will offer the brand’s upscale residential-style living it’s known for, with fully equipped kitchens in each suite, a 24-hour fitness room and convenience store, complimentary laundry facilities and storage lockers. Each hotel will also offer a daily breakfast buffet and an evening social hour event three nights a week.
The brand currently boasts 324 properties and a pipeline of 171 hotels that are expected to open within the next three to five years.
“The three latest signings follow the opening of Staybridge Suites Cannes Centre, France, in December 2023,” said Willemijn Geels, Vice President, Development, Europe at IHG Hotels & Resort. “This shows the great appetite for our all-suites offering across Europe as we meet a growing need for trips that blend business and leisure, or for guests staying multiple nights seeking both productivity and relaxation.”
“Globally, the brand’s pipeline equals more than half its current open footprint, showing long-term confidence from our owners who are increasingly investing in this brand in new and dynamic markets. We are delighted to work with our trusted partners to bring these hotels to life, and we can’t wait to see them thrive.”
