IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a franchise agreement for Garner Hotel Jagdalpur, introducing the Garner brand to the state of Chhattisgarh. The 117-room hotel will be developed by Freedom Hospitality and managed by United Hospitality Management under a third-party management arrangement.

Located in Jagdalpur in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, the hotel is scheduled to open in 2029.
