IHG adds 18 new hotels to its growing portfolio

21st September 2010, 10:51am

The InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) is adding 18 new properties to its European portfolio this summer.

The 2,375 new rooms are spread across the UK, Spain, Portugal, Germany, France, Russia and Turkey.  These new additions mean IHG continues to hold the hospitality industry's largest development pipeline, with 1,300 hotels planned worldwide.

Kirk Kinsell, IHG's president for Europe, Middle East and Africa said: "These new signings demonstrate the confidence developers have in our brands and the strength of our marketing programmes.  

"More than two-thirds of our guests come through our distribution channels such as the 52 million member strong Priority Club Rewards loyalty programme.  This is why IHG-branded hotels are such a compelling proposition for owners and developers."

He continued: "It's encouraging to see that we've been able to maintain momentum with our growth strategy across Europe and around the world.  As a business, we have continued to invest in the things that we believe make the biggest difference by strengthening our brands, increasing our scale and working more closely than ever with our hotel owners. This puts us in a great position to continue to take advantage of the market upturn and grow market share."
