IHG Hotels & Resorts today celebrates both impressive development momentum from a successful 2022 and the start of the annual HUNTER Hotel Investment Conference in Atlanta by releasing an update on its recent and planned future growth across the Americas region and beyond.

IHG continues to invest in strategic efforts that strengthen our brand portfolio while building trust and confidence among our guests and owners.

With more than 4,300 Americas hotels among a more than 6,100 property global portfolio that spans 18 new and iconic brands, we’re excited for the future and well positioned to deliver even greater levels of exceptional guest service and strong owner returns. Elie Maalouf, CEO, Americas, IHG Hotels & Resorts
