ATLANTA, Georgia—As a presenter and patron sponsor of this week’s Americas Lodging Investment Summit Caribbean & Latin America (ALIS CALA) conference, IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) reaffirmed its commitment to growth within Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean (MLAC). The nearly 400 open and pipeline IHG properties throughout the region span every segment, encompassing a mix of city, suburban, and coastal locations.
Across MLAC, IHG expects to add 32 hotels spanning its six segment brands in the coming years. This builds on 2024 openings, including Six Senses La Sagesse Grenada, Kimpton Mas Olas Resort and Spa (Baja California, Mexico), and Hotel Indigo Grand Cayman. Many of these will offer branded residences beyond guest rooms and suites, including a forthcoming joint Kimpton hotel and residence offering in Tulum, Mexico.
IHG also offers a mix of emerging midscale brands in the region, led by more than 200 open and pipeline properties across the Holiday Inn brand family. The growing avid hotels brand is on track to more than double its reach in Mexico and extend its appeal for value-conscious travelers with nine new properties on the way, including a dual brand pairing with Candlewood Suites in Torreon. Additionally, Atwell Suites will make its regional debut in Costa Rica as part of a recently signed dual-brand pairing with Holiday Inn.
Jolyon Bulley, chief executive officer, Americas at IHG, said, “From idyllic tropical getaways to well-located destinations for urban escapes and corporate travel, IHG continues its solid growth across Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean. With nearly 100 properties set to join our regional portfolio in the coming years, our continued expansion highlights the trust owners and guests have in our brands and their distinct offerings.”
