IHG Hotels & Resorts to launch new brands in India

CHENNAI: Global hospitality company IHG Hotels & Resorts is launching new brands like Regent, Garner, Vignette and Kimpton in India.

Out of its 20 brands, the company operates six brands including Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza and Six Senses in the country.

"We would be very excited to launch the brands at both ends of the spectrum. We want to bring the high end and low end. In the next three to five years, we will probably launch another two to three brands," Sudeep Jain, MD, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts, told reporters here on Wednesday.

While it operates 47 hotels comprising 7,719 keys in India, 60 are in the pipeline that are predominantly managed properties.

“Almost two thirds of our 6,500 hotels across the world are between Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express and it is the same for India, as well. InterContinental is also there," he said, while responding to a query on brands for the upcoming hotels.

Jain said India is a priority market for the company, which is the largest market after the US and China.
