ibis Makes its Debut in Coimbatore

ACCORHOTELS AND InterGlobe Hotels announced the opening of ibis Coimbatore City Centre, marking the debut of the smart hotel brand in the second largest city in the state of Tamil Nadu – Coimbatore. The business hotel is strategically located in the city's central business district at Lakshmi Mills Junction, within close proximity to local tourist attractions and shopping hubs, and a short drive from the city’s railway station and airport. With 129 well-appointed rooms, the hotel boasts of a contemporary design that offers unparalleled comfort and convenience, living up to the ibis promise of providing ‘well-being at the best price’.

Walking into the hotel, guests are welcomed by a warm and vibrant lobby featuring a colourful display of local craftsmanship. Paying homage to the city’s long term association with the textile industry, the walkways and corridors of the hotel feature wall art inspired by the weaves and thread work that have earned the city the title of ‘Manchester of South India’. The guest rooms are contemporary, comfortable and well-designed, replete with all modern in-room amenities including an LED TV and high speed Wi-Fi Internet access to ensure that guests can relax and work with ease.

With ever-evolving consumer patterns in the country, guests are now far more discerning and well-travelled.
