New IHG Hotels in Spain are set to enhance the travel experience with the signing of four new properties, adding over 500 rooms across key mature markets in desirable destinations.
IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, announced this expansion, which showcases the strong demand from both owners and guests for IHG’s diverse brand portfolio, reinforcing Spain as a priority growth market in Europe.
Willemijn Geels, Vice President of Development for Europe at IHG Hotels & Resorts, expressed excitement over the expansion, stating, “We are thrilled to expand our presence in Spain with these four outstanding properties in key tourist and business destinations across the country. The addition of over 500 rooms in Spain, alongside the recently announced 1,000 rooms in Portugal, will contribute a 10% increase in our room count across Iberia, emphasizing our commitment to growth in the region.”
These new additions highlight IHG’s continued growth in the Spanish market, driven by the confidence of owners and investors in its unique brand offerings and high-quality service.
