The initial opening was in Bristol in May 1999 where City Inn was launched as a new brand of city centre hotels, all new buildings with excellent air conditioning, acoustic integrity, state of the art facilities and an exceptional new restaurant brand, City Café.

Following on from Bristol, Glasgow opened in May 2000 with Birmingham following in March 2001.  The flagship City Inn Westminster opened in September 2003 being the biggest new build hotel in 30 years and has since won an accolade of awards since its opening including most recently Innovator of the Year 2009 and Best Business Hotel Brand at the Business Travel Awards 3 years in a row, not to mention the array of awards for design and architecture

City Inn Manchester opened in May 2007.  The hotel combines state of the art facilities, technology and services with stunning event, meeting and private dining suites, including the Sky Lounge with panoramic views of the cityscape.

At the heart of the City Inn brand are the principles of an uncompromising approach to quality, a commitment to innovation and putting customers first, always. To ensure this, processes, services and facilities are frequently changed and adapted to ensure added value for guests. Offering a modern alternative to the traditional large hotel, City Inn believes in creating new build hotels in thriving city centre locations and providing guests with a cool, light and contemporary environment in which to relax, work or entertain.

The company is continuing to pursue a strategy of developing City Inn in prime UK and international city centres, with Leeds City Inn opening at the end of July. a second site in London and the first international development in Amsterdam. Further aspirations include the USA, so who knows what the next 10 years will bring for City Inn!
