IHG opens 11 Holiday Inns in the UK
IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) is opening 11 new Holiday Inn hotels in the UK this week as part of its mass conversion deal with Kew Green Hotels Ltd (KGH).
The 11 hotels, owned by KGH and formerly operated under the Courtyard by Marriott brand, will now operate as Holiday Inn hotels under 20-year licence agreements with IHG.
IHG said the decision to re-brand the hotels was taken because KGH felt that the Holiday Inn brand was more appropriate for these full service hotels.
Refurbishments of the hotel’s facilities are now underway, including the upgrading of banqueting suites and the addition of air-conditioning to all guest rooms within 18 months, as well as the introduction of room service breakfast and the time saving ‘breakfast check-out’.
