IHG Hotels & Resorts

Public Service Announcement 🚨to our American followers - we commissioned a study which revealed that a staggering 57% of Americans leave vacation days on the table at the end of the year. We also found that you feel even more anxiety requesting time off than dealing with everyday stressors like sending dinner orders back (21%) or parallel parking in front of a crowd (10% - I mean, we get it). To fix things, IHG has recently launched the “Book it Already” campaign to empower you to take a break and book that trip with new limited-time IHG packages at select US and Mexico hotels, including… ✅ Up to 25% off your stay ✅ Surprise welcome amenity (just say: “Book it Already!”) ✅ Curated local itineraries to make planning easy Book by 10 Feb 2026 for stays through Nov 2026. Afterall, that inbox? It’ll survive but that poolside drink won’t order itself.🍹 You can find eligible properties and more about why we’ve launched this campaign, here: https://lnkd.in/eRG9qdWk

From launching transformative experiences in Portugal’s Douro Valley to leading one of the most competitive openings in the world, Nick reminds us that hospitality is as much about humanity as it is about hotels. ❤️ 🎧 Listen now!

More than 50 years ago, we opened our first hotel in Mexico - Holiday Inn Acapulco in 1970 - marking the start of an uninterrupted journey in one of our most established markets. The region also holds a special place in our global story as the cradle of the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts brand, with the very first InterContinental opening its doors in Belém, Brazil, in 1946. Today, our footprint in Latin America spans 25 countries, with 289 hotels open and 105 more in the pipeline, reflecting both our deep commitment and the vast potential of this vibrant region.   We are expanding across every segment, from the signing of six new voco Hotels in Mexico to the debut of the Vignette Collection in South America with SOUMA Hotel Lima in Peru. We're so proud to build on our decades-long presence with fresh brands, bold openings and an enduring belief in the people and places that make this part of the world so extraordinary.    From Cozumel to Cartagena, Lima to São Paulo, every stay adds a new chapter to our MLAC story and we’ve still got so much more to come.
