Ibis Budget (stylised ibis budget) is a French budget hotel brand owned by Accor.[2] Created in 1992 in France under the name Etap Hôtel, the brand was renamed Ibis Budget in 2011. As of 2018, Ibis Budget managed 614 hotels in 20 countries.[1]
After the successful launch of the budget hotel chain Formule 1 in 1985, the group Accor launched a new economy brand, Etap Hôtel, in 1992.[3] By 2004, 229 Etap Hôtel locations opened in France, and 81 elsewhere in Europe.[4] To fine-tune its economy segment, the Accor group privileged the development of Etap Hôtel over its other budget brand Formule 1.[5]
In 2008, the chain had been awarded Best Interior Design by the European Hotel Design Awards.[6]
2011: Ibis Budgetedit
In September 2011, Accor rebranded Etap Hôtel into Ibis Budget and All Seasons into ibis Styles, turning ibis into the group's economy megabrand.[7] The "Sweet Bed" was rolled out throughout the ibis brands, the first bed entirely designed by a hotel group.[8] The mattresses, pillows and digital access were upgraded.[9] The lobby was turned into a living space.[10] Following this restructuration, the ibis megabrand became the leading hotel operator in Europe in 2013 with 1,277 hotels.[11] The first Ibis Budget opened in Tangier, Morocco, in November 2011.[12]
In 2013, Ibis Budget became Spain's first super-economy hotel chain with 15 hotels in the country.[13] The following year, still in Spain, Ibis Budget tested the installation of solar thermal collectors capable of yielding power on rainy days and during the night.[14]
In April 2017, Ibis Budget introduced the new Nest rooms which include a pull-down bed.[15] In January 2019, ibis Budget launched a discount offer for rainy days.[16] In October 2019, Ibis Budget launched in Singapore.[17]
The last remaining hotel with the old Etap name is located in Belfast, Accor sold the hotel to Andras House in March 2024.[18][19][20]
