Holiday Inn Express Dresden Zentrum, an IHG Hotel

IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world's leading hotel companies, today announces the opening of Holiday Inn Express Dresden Zentrum - its first together with ownership group LRO Hospitality, and its first in Continental Europe with longstanding partners Atlas Hotels.

The hotel marks IHG's first conversion property for the Holiday Inn Express brand in Germany, which will result in a full rebrand to a 306-guest room hotel in the heart of the city.

Through its rebranding and refurbishment, Holiday Inn Express Dresden Zentrum showcases the brand's latest design concepts to deliver more where it matters most for on-the-go guests. A pet-friendly property, during each stay, guests can enjoy the Express Start breakfast included in every room rate, as well as guest rooms featuring power showers, flat screen televisions, workspace, a pillow menu and complimentary Wi-Fi.

The property is walking distance from Dresden Altstadt, or old town, home to the city hall, state parliament, Old Masters Picture Gallery and Semper Opera House. A hub for shopping food and drink, the city is also famed for having Germany's oldest Christmas market.
