IHG has expanded its pipeline in Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean, MLAC region, with new openings and 400 more planned.
IHG Hotels & Resorts has continued to extend its reach in the Mexico, Latin America and Caribbean (MLAC) region. A host of exciting recent hotel openings across all segments adds to its nearly 400 open and pipeline properties in the region, spanning coveted urban, coastal and business destinations.
Mexico, IHG’s fifth‑largest market globally, leads the region’s growth alongside continued expansion in key markets including the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Colombia and Peru. More than 4,000 rooms were added to the pipeline in MLAC last year alone.
“Our growth momentum in MLAC continues to be driven by healthy travel demand, longstanding owner relationships, attractive brands, and key openings and signings, from midscale to luxury and lifestyle. We see tremendous opportunities ahead and remain well-positioned to more than double our pace of growth in the region in the coming years,” said Jolyon Bulley, Chief Executive Officer, Americas at IHG.
From the Caribbean islands to Mexico City’s iconic Condesa neighbourhood and the Pacific coast, IHG’s newest open hotels in the region pair design with a sense of place, prime locations and experiences with local character.
