IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) has underlined its growth in the Luxury & Lifestyle segment. Currently, IHG boasts one of the largest Luxury & Lifestyle portfolios in the world, consisting of six acclaimed brands that represent 22 percent of its global pipeline – nearly double its stake from just five years ago. IHG has driven its ambition forward through a combination of strategic expansion, dedicated Luxury & Lifestyle expertise and significant investments in its wider enterprise platform to fuel brand awareness, consideration and loyalty.
Globally, IHG has transformed its Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio through notable acquisitions of Six Senses, Regent Hotels & Resorts and Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants; the growth of its iconic InterContinental Hotels & Resorts and Hotel Indigo brands; and the launch of Vignette Collection. IHG’s brands in the segment globally span more than 800 open and pipeline hotels, of which nearly 260 are in the Americas. IHG also supports acceleration in the region – its largest – through a newly formed Luxury & Lifestyle Americas team of experts dedicated to boosting the company’s regional growth in the segment.
“IHG’s Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio continues to grow at pace. We’ve strategically designed our brands to be flexible and scalable to meet the changing demands of travellers and the industry overall. We’ve been very intentional in our Americas growth in this segment. Through building the right operational and talent capabilities and capitalizing on commercial, brand awareness and engagement efforts, we’re ensuring our portfolio meets guests’ high expectations while driving returns for owners,” said Jolyon Bulley, CEO – Americas, IHG Hotels & Resorts.
In the Americas, IHG remains focused on several core areas to supercharge its Luxury & Lifestyle growth. These include enhancing its dedication and expertise and expanding its reach in the Americas.
