IHG Hotels & Resorts intends to open over 60 new Holiday Inn Express hotels across Europe in the next 3-5 years.
The Holiday Inn Express brand is continuing to grow at a quick pace globally. Currently, the European market already has 277 hotels operating ad despite the recent challenges that the hospitality industry has faced in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, IHG Hotels & Resorts signed 11 new Holiday Inn Express locations in 2020, complementing its 17 European openings in the same period.
Willemijn Geels, Vice President, Development, Europe, IHG Hotels & Resorts, commented: “At IHG Hotels & Resorts, we take pride in the continued growth of our brands, and so I am delighted to see Holiday Inn Express entering new European leisure destinations which is a key focus for us this year. From airport and motorway locations to city centres, seaside locations and the opportunity to convert alongside new-build opportunities, the brand delivers a consistent and reliable guest offer.”
