Ibis is an international hotel company, owned by Accor hotels. It has 800 hotels in 40 countries around the world^[1], with over 370 in France and most of the remainder elsewhere in Europe. The hotels are generally close to city centres, airports or rail stations, offering budget rates.

The first Ibis opened in Bordeaux in 1974 [1], while the newest Ibis hotel (the 900th) opened in January 2012 in Samara, Russia.

[edit] Hotel facilities

They are in Accor's economy range of hotels and unlike the budget hotels such as Formule 1 and Etap, offer 24 hour reception. The room offers a bathroom and toilet, a desk, a double or two single beds, wardrobe space, and international and local channels on the television. [2]. The hotel sometimes includes a restaurant or bar offering food early in the morning to noon (04:00-12:00), and in some hotels a 24 hour snack menu is offered. Generally, the Ibis hotels are seen as economy hotels, so Accor is endeavouring to change this by advertising all the hotel's achievements and highlighting their satisfaction guarantee.[3]

[edit] Ibis Hong Kong Sheung Wan

Ibis Hong Kong Sheung Wan will be the largest Ibis Hotel in Asia Pacific when it opens in early 2012. The ibis Hong Kong Sheung Wan is located at the junction of Bonham Strand West and Des Voeux Road West, in the heart of downtown Hong Kong. The hotel is a few minutes' walk to Sheung Wan MTR station and the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal. The hotel will boast 550 guest rooms, an all day dining venue, and bar.^[2]
