New-build hotels will mean the brand's debut in Nigeria, in the capital Lagos. In Thailand, Bangkok and Phuket will get their first Four Points hotels, also new-builds.

In Canada hotels will open in Calgary, Niagara Falls and Saskatoon, and in the US properties are planned for San Jose, Oklahoma City, Memphis and Long Island City.
In China, new hotels will open in Lianyungang, known as China's east-west freight corridor, the port city of Taicang, and Tai'An, home to Mount Taishan, a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage site.
The Four Points brand has recently undergone a $1 billion rejuvenation. There are currently 148 properties in 24 countries.
