InterContinental Hotels Group continues growth in key UK market
IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) announces the signing of a franchise
agreement for 11 Holiday Inn hotels (860 rooms) in the UK owned by Kew Green
Hotels Ltd (KGH).
Currently operating under the Courtyard by Marriott brand, the hotels will
undergo a refurbishment programme to be re-branded as Holiday Inn by May 2007.
KGH will operate the hotels under a 20 year license agreement.
Andrew Cosslett, Chief Executive of IHG, said: "The conversion of these hotels
to Holiday Inn marks another significant win for IHG and recognises the strength
of the Holiday Inn brand. Holiday Inn is the largest full service hotel brand in
the UK. We continue to see it grow in key strategic markets around the world as
the demand for quality hotel accommodation rises. We welcome this opportunity to
develop our relationship with a quality hotel owner like KGH."
Paul Johnson, KGH's Managing Director, comments: "We are delighted to expand our
relationship with IHG and to build on the three Express by Holiday Inn hotels
that we already operate. The Holiday Inn brand is a perfect fit for these
conference-led hotels and I am pleased to announce that we will also open a new
150 bedroom Holiday Inn in Norwich this April."
