LONDON—IHG Hotels & Resorts announces that it has surpassed one million open rooms worldwide. The company has opened hundreds of hotels every year and doubled its brand portfolio to 20 in the past decade to offer a stay for every occasion, with more than 6,700 hotels in over 100 countries.
“Reaching one million rooms reflects the deep trust and confidence our guests, owners, and investors place in IHG and our brands,” said Elie Maalouf, chief executive officer of IHG Hotels & Resorts. “But more than that, it’s a celebration of our colleagues, who help millions of guests live their best lives every single day – be it with a warm welcome the minute they walk through our doors or helping make memories in life’s big events. If it matters in life, it happens in our hotels.”
“We’re all excited about the many more special moments our hotels will be a part of in the years ahead. With a strong, growing development pipeline spanning world-famous, beloved heritage brands and rapidly growing new brands, the future is bright for IHG.”
IHG opened a record number of rooms in the first half of 2025 and has celebrated several achievements in the past year, including reaching 4,000 open hotels in the US, its 800th open hotel in Greater China as it commemorates its 50th anniversary in the region, and record levels of openings and signings in EMEAA.
