Exciting new openings and signings include presence among the world’s most highly traveled and coveted urban and resort locations:
- Six Senses made its debut in the region last year with the opening of Six Senses La Sagesse in Grenada. Its momentum continues with two recent U.S. signings, both of which are set to open in 2028 – Six Senses Telluride, a natural playground tucked amidst Colorado’s San Juan Mountains, as well as Six Senses Riverstone Estate, a picturesque country estate located outside the quaint Western Pennsylvania town of Foxburg. Six Senses joined IHG in 2019, and has 27 open hotels globally with another 43 in the pipeline.
- The legendary Regent Hotels & Resorts recently returned to the Americas with the opening of Regent Santa Monica Beach. Combining the glamour of Los Angeles with the splendor of the coast, the destination resort ushers in a new era of extraordinary experiences with spacious guestrooms starting at a generous 720 square feet; inspired dining concepts from renowned chef Michael Mina and entrepreneur and restaurateur Ayesha Curry; and a 10,000-square-foot Guerlain Wellness spa. Regent Santa Monica Beach joins Regent Hong Kong, Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel, Regent Shanghai on the Bund and Regent Phu Quoc in exemplifying this new chapter for luxury hospitality, with Regent Jeddah and Regent Kyoto leading the brand’s next wave of openings.
- With 226 open and 97 pipeline hotels globally, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, the world’s first and largest international luxury hotel brand, continues to open doors to fascinating places and fresh perspectives. Last summer’s opening of InterContinental Bellevue at the Avenue marked the brand’s entry into the Pacific Northwest, while InterContinental San Antonio, which debuted shortly after, is setting a new standard for luxury accommodations in its region. Exciting new destinations for the brand in the Americas include InterContinental Presidente Monterrey and InterContinental Indianapolis, both poised to open in early 2025, as well as ensuing properties in Grenada, Turks & Caicos and Orlando.
- Vignette Collection, IHG’s Luxury & Lifestyle collection brand, has surpassed the halfway point in its initial aim to reach 100 open and pipeline hotels in 10 years. The brand debuted in the Americas in early 2023 with Yours Truly DC, a bohemian-inspired haven in Washington, D.C. Future openings in the Americas include the SOUMA Hotel Lima in Peru, Franciscana Hotel in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and The Gwendolyn, located in Oregon’s Willamette Valley wine region. Global properties that recently opened their doors or will soon start welcoming guests include Shanghai Snow World Hotel, Ciel Tower in Dubai and Noku Maldives.
- Luxury lifestyle brand Kimpton continues its exceptional global growth, with 135 open or in pipeline hotels. The pioneering brand’s newest properties in the Americas – including Kimpton Virgilio and Mas Olas Resort & Spa in Mexico, Kimpton Las Mercedes in the Dominican Republic, Kimpton Claret Hotel in Denver and Kimpton Santo Hotel in San Antonio – each welcome guests with expansive experiences and innovative restaurants and bars. As the brand continues its global expansion, upcoming destinations include Frankfurt, a third hotel in New York City, Marbella, The Algarve in Portugal, Kuala Lumpur, Riyadh, Hawai’i, Orlando, Monterrey and Turks & Caicos, among others.
- Centered on creating uniquely local experiences that celebrate the spirit of the neighborhood, Hotel Indigo currently stands as the second largest brand within IHG’s Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio with 162 properties open across more than 25 countries and a pipeline of 128 hotels. In 2024, the brand expanded its stay offerings in the lifestyle segment and opened its first Caribbean hotel in Grand Cayman while also introducing new resort properties in Bintan Lagoi Beach in Indonesia and Lugu Lake in China. New openings in one-of-a-kind destinations will include Barbados, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Turks & Caicos and St. Kitts.
Expanding Expertise
IHG continues to strengthen its dedicated Luxury & Lifestyle team with leaders and experts across its six segment brands, most recently naming Raj Khubchandani as its new Vice President of Hotel Operations, Luxury & Lifestyle Brands, for the Americas region. Raj joins IHG with extensive segment experience, holding roles ranging from general manager to senior corporate positions across a host of leading global hotel companies and brands.
Several members of the Luxury & Lifestyle Americas leadership team received industry honors as segment gamechangers, with Harwood being named one of Hotel Management’s 2024 “Influential Women in Hospitality”, VP of Design & Creative Ave Bradley earning induction into Hospitality Design’s 2024 “HD Platinum Circle”, and VP of Restaurants, Bars and Events Scott Gingerich delivering exceptional experiences, including L.A. Magazine’s Best New Restaurant Ladyhawk by Charbel Hayek at Kimpton La Peer Hotel.
Revving Up Performance
To fuel hotel performance and owner returns, IHG continues to invest in its enterprise platform and the IHG Hotels & Resorts masterbrand, boosting an already powerful commercial engine. Its award-winning IHG One Rewards loyalty program now accounts for nearly 70 percent of room nights in the Americas alone.
And, true to the program’s name, IHG’s exclusive partnerships continue to reward loyal guests with access to sought-after experiences, including the U.S. Open Tennis Championships and Major League Soccer matches. IHG’s highly successful “Guest How You Guest” global marketing campaign recently launched its next phase, highlighting increased awareness and momentum of the IHG Hotels & Resorts brand for guests and owners worldwide.
