Spark by Hilton has officially made its Canadian debut with the opening of its newest hotel in Toronto Markham, marking a significant milestone for the rapidly growing premium economy brand.
Nestled just 28 kilometers north of Toronto, in a thriving tech and business hub, Spark by Hilton Toronto Markham is set to offer a refreshing stay experience tailored to modern travelers.
This launch is more than just an expansion; it reflects Spark’s ambitious growth strategy and its appeal to both guests and developers. After opening its first hotel in Mystic, Connecticut, in September 2023, the brand has continued its swift global rollout.
By May, Spark made its European debut with the opening of Spark by Hilton London Romford. Now, with more than 50 hotels already open and over 275 in development globally, Spark is showing no signs of slowing down.
Hilton’s fastest announcement-to-market brand, Spark by Hilton, is a conversion-only brand that stands out for its innovative design, guest-centric amenities, and affordable rates. Its rapid expansion is partly due to its flexibility for developers and the robust support provided by Hilton, making it a compelling choice for those looking to enter or grow within the dynamic hospitality sector.
With the opening of Spark by Hilton Toronto Markham, eight more Spark hotels are in various stages of development across Canada. JM Hospitality Inc., the partner for this project, is thrilled to bring the Spark experience to the Canadian market, showcasing the brand’s commitment to providing exceptional stays that align with current travel trends.
Located in the heart of Markham, a vibrant suburb known for its cultural diversity and economic dynamism, the 72-room Spark by Hilton Toronto Markham is poised to become an appealing destination for both leisure and business travelers. The hotel’s proximity to major corporate headquarters, shopping districts, and cultural attractions makes it an ideal choice for guests seeking an outstanding yet affordable stay experience.
Spark by Hilton Toronto Markham is also a bellwether for Hilton’s broader growth strategy in Canada, where the global hospitality company is on track to expand its portfolio of hotels by 50% over the next five years. Throughout Canada, Hilton currently has a portfolio of more than 180 hotels welcoming travelers across the region, and a development pipeline of approximately 100 hotels in various stages of design and construction.
“Spark by Hilton’s debut in Canada marks an important next step in our global expansion strategy,” said Alissa Klees, brand leader, Spark by Hilton.
“We were thrilled to partner with JM Hospitality to bring Spark by Hilton to the Canadian market. With our first hotel opening in Markham, we look forward to introducing travelers to a new level of contemporary comfort and innovative design, showcasing Hilton’s ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences worldwide.”
