LONDON, June 8, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of the world's
leading hotel companies, is celebrating 6,000 open hotels by
unveiling the '6,000 Club' and announcing partnerships with major
sports and entertainment events.
The 6,000 Club features a collection of stunning newly opened
hotels from IHG's iconic portfolio, showcasing the global reach of
its 17 brands and the many ways its hotel teams delight owners and
guests by delivering True Hospitality for Good, every day.
The milestone was commemorated by IHG CEO, Keith Barr, at the New York Stock Exchange on
June 7 when he rang the bell to
signal the close of trading, alongside local hotel General Managers
and colleagues.
In the past five years, IHG has broadened its appeal to owners
and guests by acquiring or launching six exciting brands to take
the portfolio to 17 - providing more choice and amazing experiences
than ever before. The new additions include Luxury & Lifestyle
brands Six Senses, Regent and Vignette Collection; Premium brand,
voco hotels; Essentials brand, avid hotels; and Suites brand,
Atwell Suites.
IHG is set to grow its portfolio by a further 30 percent, with
more than 1,800 hotels already signed in its development pipeline,
illustrating how much owners value the strength of IHG's scale and
brands. To thank guests, the company recently reinvented its
loyalty programme, IHG One Rewards, to offer members more choice,
value and richer rewards than ever before - all powered by leading
technology on a new mobile app.
The company is also announcing a series of exciting multi-year
sports and entertainment partnerships for IHG One Rewards
members that will connect travellers at events around the
world, including Major League Soccer, European Professional Club
Rugby and music festivals across the US and UK. The partnerships
will reward loyal members with the chance to create memorable
moments from events the world has missed in recent years.
IHG Hotels & Resorts CEO, Keith
Barr, said: "I'm incredibly proud of our IHG Hotels
& Resorts teams for reaching a milestone of 6,000 hotels open
around the world, and would like to thank our owners for their
collaboration and our guests for their love and trust in our
brands. Every single property we open is a cause for celebration as
we offer guests unrivalled experiences in amazing locations and
give owners even more reasons to work with us. Our new partnerships
will connect more of our IHG One Rewards members with memorable
moments, as travel continues to return. With over 1,800 hotels in
our pipeline, I'm looking forward to IHG's next chapter of growth
and to celebrating plenty more milestones to come."
