IHG announced the development of his dual-branded portfolio in the U.S with hotels to open in Atlanta, Austin and San Diego.
InterContinental Hotels Group announced plans for multiple dual-branded hotel developments across the U.S., with the first of them to open in Atlanta. The 501-room Hotel Melia will convert to a Crowne Plaza hotel and will immediately undergo a total renovation, ultimately creating a 360-room Crowne Plaza hotel. By January of 2016, the property will open within the same building a 102-room Staybridge Suites hotel. Other development plans for dual-branded IHG hotels include a Holiday Inn and Candlewood Suites hotel for Joliet, Illinois, a Crowne Plaza and Staybridge Suites hotel for San Diego and an IHG-managed Hotel Indigo and Holiday Inn Express hotel for Austin, Texas.
“Dual-branded hotels are attractive for our owners because they are able to achieve construction cost savings, through shared facilities such as meeting space, swimming pools, fitness facilities and back-of-house areas, as well as operational savings, through shared services,” said Joel Eisemann, chief development officer, the Americas, IHG.
IHG provides more than 700 hotels in the Americas development pipeline and over 600 of them in the United States alone.
