All of us here at THP extend our warmest congratulations to IHG Hotels & Resorts on a remarkable milestone: surpassing one million open rooms worldwide. Announced just today, this outstanding achievement reflects the strength and global appeal of IHG’s diverse brand portfolio and the growing demand for its offerings across key markets.
Elie Maalouf, CEO of IHG Hotels & Resorts, said, “Reaching one million rooms reflects the deep trust and confidence our guests, owners, and investors place in IHG and our brands. We’re all excited about the many more special moments our hotels will be a part of in the years ahead.”
One million rooms
IHG’s growth has been driven by a strong global strategy, a booming travel sector, and an expanding portfolio that now includes 20 brands across more than 100 countries. Key to this expansion is IHG One Rewards and innovative tech that helps deliver more choice and better experiences for guests and hotel owners.
Reaching one million open rooms is more than a number—it reflects the millions of real moments happening daily across IHG’s 6,700+ hotels, from family reunions and business deals to weddings, global events, and everything in between.
For hotel suppliers and hospitality industry experts, one million open rooms also means one million opportunities—times thousands of hotels. From linens and lighting to tech and toiletries, the demand for high-quality, reliable products has never been higher. (Better stock up on sample kits!)
