Looking ahead, we will continue to leverage IHG’s global expertise and local capabilities to support our partners and drive the next phase of growth for Holiday Inn in Greater China.”
A portfolio designed for diverse investment opportunities
With nearly five decades of experience in Greater China, Holiday Inn has developed a flexible brand portfolio that responds to changing market conditions and investment opportunities.
Through Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Resort, and Holiday Inn Suites, the company serves urban, resort, and extended-stay markets with tailored hospitality solutions.
The 24 newly signed hotels are located across key cities and regional destinations, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhanjiang, Yinchuan, Hulunbuir, Nanchang, and Yichang, further strengthening Holiday Inn’s footprint across Greater China.
Among the new projects is Holiday Inn NECC Shanghai, which is positioned to capture business and MICE demand thanks to its location near the National Exhibition and Convention Center. Meanwhile, Holiday Inn Shanghai Caohejing will strengthen the brand’s presence within one of Shanghai’s leading high-tech business districts.
In Beijing, Holiday Inn Beijing Haidian Xibeiwang will cater to both business and leisure travellers in a well-connected urban area. In southern China, Holiday Inn Shenzhen Dapeng Jiaochangwei expands the brand’s presence in the leisure segment through its prime coastal location.
