IHG Celebrates Milestone of One Million Hotel Rooms Around the World

IHG Hotels & Resorts announced today, August 8, that it has exceeded one million open rooms globally as demand for its offerings continues to expand.

Buoyed by an upsurging travel industry and a solid global strategy, IHG has seen significant growth, opening hundreds of hotels yearly and doubling its brand portfolio to 20 in the last decade, providing a stay for all occasions across more than 100 countries.
