ATLANTA, May 30, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of
the world's leading hotel companies, today celebrates its
exceptional luxury and lifestyle growth in Mexico, Latin
America and the Caribbean
(MLAC). Already one of the largest luxury and lifestyle portfolios
in the world, this expansion underscores IHG's strategic focus,
significant investment, and ambitious growth plans in the region
for this important segment. With five openings to date in 2024 and
32 properties currently in the regional pipeline, IHG is expected
to more than double its MLAC luxury and lifestyle presence in the
coming years.*
Leanne Harwood, SVP, Managing
Director for Luxury & Lifestyle Americas at IHG Hotels &
Resorts, said: "The significant expansion of our luxury and
lifestyle portfolio across the Mexico, Latin
America and Caribbean
markets demonstrates our brands continue to not only be in demand,
but are also embraced for their distinct offerings. From
spectacular retreats at Six Senses and storied heritage at
InterContinental to laid-back luxury at Kimpton, boutique
neighborhood settings at Hotel Indigo and one-of-a-kind stays at
Vignette Collection, each one opens the door to more destinations
than ever before."
IHG's latest and upcoming openings in Mexico, Latin
America and the Caribbean
include a rich blend of sought-after destinations, meticulously
designed resort oases and unique urban experiences for both leisure
and business travelers.
Six Senses
World-renowned for providing the ultimate wellness and
sustainability experiences set within some of the world's most
breathtaking landscapes, Six Senses made its highly
anticipated debut in the region this April with the opening of Six
Senses La Sagesse in Grenada. The
island's incredible natural beauty and soul-connecting cultural
experiences provide the perfect backdrop for a journey of
discovery, rejuvenation and celebration. Travelers can immerse in
the resort's unique experiences that connect them with Grenada's Spice Island heritage, including
farm-to-table cooking, a spa designed to leverage the abundance of
fragrant spices with medicinal healing properties as well as
culinary menus brought to life with bold flavors using local
produce grown in the island's fertile volcanic soil. Six Senses is
poised to continue its thoughtful expansion in the region with the
forthcoming Six Senses Grand Bahama and Six Senses Xala, expected
to open by 2026.
InterContinental Hotels & Resorts
InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, the world's first and
largest luxury hotel brand, currently has the greatest presence
amongst the luxury and lifestyle portfolio in MLAC with 20 open
properties. In Spring 2023, the brand celebrated the opening of
InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Nature Spa, a
secluded beachfront sanctuary set amidst the island of Dominica's natural beauty. As InterContinental
continues to expand in the region, IHG announces it will open the
293-room InterContinental Presidente Monterrey in Mexico with longstanding partner Grupo Presidente in the second half of 2024. Set
within San Pedro Garza García in Monterrey, the hotel will feature exceptional
experiences, including a signature restaurant, craft cocktail bar
and coffee shop, as well as an onsite spa offering rejuvenating
treatments, more than 20,000 square feet of meetings and events
space, and a Club InterContinental lounge. With its proximity to
the area's exciting culinary destinations, museums and shopping,
InterContinental Presidente Monterrey will be perfectly positioned
to welcome leisure and business travelers alike. Looking further
ahead, the InterContinental Grenada Resort is projected to open in
2025.
Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants
Celebrated for having pioneered the concept of unique,
design-forward hotels that ignite the spirit through expansive
experiences, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants continues its
exciting growth momentum in MLAC following the opening of Kimpton
Grand Roatán Resort & Spa in Fall 2023. Demonstrating a strong
start to 2024, the boutique luxury brand debuted Kimpton Virgilio in Mexico City's vibrant Polanquito neighborhood
in February, followed in April by Kimpton Mas Olas Resort & Spa
in the charming coastal town of Todos
Santos on Mexico's
Baja Sur peninsula. Early this
summer, it is slated to open the 130-room Kimpton Las Mercedes,
located in the Dominican
Republic's bustling Santo
Domingo, in partnership with Iberostar Group. As Kimpton
continues to innovate and expand its offerings for guests, the
brand is also set to unveil its first all-inclusive beachfront
resort, Kimpton Tres Ríos Riviera Maya, before year's
end.
Vignette Collection
Vignette Collection, IHG's newest luxury and lifestyle brand
that debuted in 2021, is a curation of distinct hand-picked hotels
offering one-of-a-kind stays, all united by a sense of purpose.
Representing the brand's first signing in both Mexico and within the Americas, El Gran
Encomendero in the Yucatán Peninsula will become the first branded
hotel in the historic town of Valladolid. Expected to open in 2025, the
83-room property is set within an on-the-rise destination for
international leisure travel, business events and weddings.
Valladolid recently received the
coveted "Magical Towns" designation from the Mexican Ministry of
Tourism for its efforts to protect and preserve cultural
wealth.
Hotel Indigo
As The World's Neighborhood Hotel, Hotel Indigo draws
inspiration from each hotel's surrounding neighborhood and culture
to create a warm and vibrant atmosphere that inspires guests to
discover something new. Earlier this month, the fast-growing
lifestyle brand revealed the much-anticipated Hotel Indigo Grand
Cayman on Grand Cayman's famed
Seven Mile Beach. The unparalleled island oasis boasts 282
exceptional water view guest rooms, multi-concept dining including
one of the island's only rooftop lounges, elevated pool and
beachside experiences, and abundant event spaces for the local
community and visiting guests to enjoy. This opening in the region
follows that of Hotel Indigo La Paz Puerta Cortés, nestled between
the Sea of Cortez and La Paz Bay in Mexico, in January and precedes Hotel Indigo
Tijuana, which is expected to open later this year.
Further demonstrating IHG's strategic focus and investment in
luxury and lifestyle in the region, three milestone signings were
recently announced in Turks & Caicos for InterContinental,
Kimpton and Hotel Indigo. Set on Turks & Caicos' picturesque
Grace Bay, the resorts will mark
IHG's debut on the celebrated Caribbean island and are all poised to open by
2027.
Fueled by exciting acquisitions and new brand launches, IHG has
transformed its luxury and lifestyle portfolio in recent years to
become one of the largest in the hospitality industry. Globally,
brands in this space continue to represent a growing proportion of
IHG with over 850 open and pipeline hotels.*
