IHG® Hotels & Resorts certainly has a lot to celebrate, starting with an incredible growth story. Over the past five years, IHG has acquired or launched six new brands: Six Senses® Hotels Resorts Spas, Regent® Hotels & Resorts, Vignette™ Collection, voco™ hotels, avid® hotels and Atwell Suites™. Most recently, IHG reached an important milestone with its 6,000th open hotel. The company looks to further expand its portfolio by 30 percent with 1,800 hotels in the development pipeline, with significant focus on growth in the luxury segment where IHG is positioned as one of the top two hotel chains.
To commemorate its 6,000th property, IHG launched the 6,000 Club, featuring an exclusive collection of stunning hotels across IHG’s diverse portfolio of brands. Participating hotels will surprise guests with 6,000 IHG One Rewards points, as well as other perks and experiences.
