In 1967, the first Sandman Inn opened in Smithers, British Columbia.

The company rapidly expanded, opening at least one property every year.

With the corporate headquarters based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the company currently has over 60 properties across Canada under the brands Sandman Inns, Sandman Hotel & Suites, Sutton Place Hotels and Sandman Signature Hotels & Resorts.

Four Sandman Signature properties now operate in the UK based in Newcastle, Aberdeen, Glasgow and London Gatwick, alongside a resort in Ireland, Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links.
