IHG Hotels & Resorts has surpassed the milestone of 200 open hotels in its Northern Europe market.

This expansion includes the introduction of several IHG brands across Germany, Hungary, Poland and Sweden.

Germany will welcome the luxury boutique Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants and the midscale conversion brand Garner later this year.

The Candlewood Suites extended stay brand is set to make its debut early next year while the first hotels under the Kimpton and Vignette Collection brands have already opened in Hungary.

Additionally, the collaboration between IHG’s Holiday Inn brand and NOVUM Hospitality’s niu brand has resulted in more than 30 new openings.

In Germany, the upcoming Holiday Inn Express Munich Airport-Erding is scheduled to open in late 2024, alongside Kimpton Frankfurt Main, which will be the first Kimpton-branded hotel in the country, located within the FOUR development.
