IHG Hotels & Resorts
Building on their successful collaboration launched last year, IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) and Hainan Airlines have further deepened their strategic partnership. Recently they unveiled their new co-branded lounge at Terminal 2 of Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
The co-branded lounge draws inspiration from a ‘Garden Oasis’, blending IHG’s timeless elegance with Hainan Airlines’ ‘Dream Feather’ design elements. The thoughtfully designed space features a buffet island, live cooking stations, and quiet dining and relaxation zones. The hotel-inspired ‘Back Garden’ concept extends IHG’s signature hospitality, offering exclusive access and benefits to IHG One Rewards Diamond Elite members.

Daniel Aylmer, CEO of IHG Greater China: “As we mark 50 years in Greater China, our commitment to understanding and exceeding guest expectations has never been stronger. This expanded partnership with Hainan Airlines reflects our shared ambition to integrate the travel journey and create inspiring, seamless experiences from departure to destination. Together, we are elevating the travel ecosystem through collaboration and innovation.”
Zhu Tao, Vice President of HNA Aviation Group and Chairman of Hainan Airlines: “Hainan Airlines and InterContinental Hotels Group share a long-standing and productive partnership. This upgraded collaboration marks a new milestone in our relationship, pioneering an innovative model that integrates aviation and travel experiences. Moving forward, HNA Aviation Group and InterContinental Hotels Group will join forces to transcend the boundaries between air and ground.”
