The InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has announced the signing of four more Holiday Inn hotels to its UK portfolio.
The four hotels to join the Holiday Inn brand are Cardiff, London – West, London – Heathrow T5 and Birmingham North – Cannock.
The first to open will be the 95-room property in Cardiff in a few weeks’ time, and will be operated by Kew Gardens, a long standing partner of IHG. It will feature leisure facilities including a pool, spa, sauna and gym, as well as a bar and restaurant, board room, four meeting rooms and a newly designed lobby.
The London – West property is set to open in August, the 225-room property, including 75 new rooms and 150 refurbished rooms, will operate under a franchise agreement with first time IHG owner Mango Hotels.
Meanwhile the 119-room London – Heathrow T5 will open later this summer under a franchise agreement with Arora Hotels, and Holiday Inn Birmingham North – Cannock will open in early 2015 under a franchise agreement with Nine Hospitality.
Philip Lassman, IHG’s director of development, UK and Ireland, said: “Holiday Inn is one of the most iconic hotel brands in the world and its commitment to innovation makes it as relevant today as when it was founded more than 60 years ago.”
