IHG Hotels & Resorts announces that it has surpassed one million open rooms across the globe, as demand for its brands continues to grow.
IHG is the third global hotel brand company to reach this portfolio milestone, together with Marriott International and Hilton. IHG’s global hotel portfolio ended the first half of 2025 with approximately 999,000 open hotel rooms, then crossed the 1-million-threshhold between the end of June and before IHG’s earnings conference call Thursday.
“Reaching one million rooms reflects the deep trust and confidence our guests, owners and investors place in IHG and our brands,” said Elie Maalouf, CEO of IHG Hotels & Resorts.
IHG opened a record number of rooms in the first half of 2025 and has celebrated several key achievements in the past year, including reaching 4,000 open hotels in the US, its 800th open hotel in Greater China as it commemorates its 50th anniversary in the region, and record levels of openings and signings in EMEAA.
Global economic and political headwinds appear to be subsiding, Maalouf said. He added this is encouraging for IHG’s performance for the rest of the year and beyond.
In February, IHG added its 20th brand with the acquisition of German hotel firm Ruby Hotels. Ruby has 20 operating hotels and plans to scale that number to 120 hotels within 10 years.
