InterContinental Hotels Group, PLC continues to grow its EVEN® Hotels brand. Initially launched in the U.S., EVEN Hotels targets wellness-minded business travelers at 11 open properties in core metropolitan areas, such as New York and Miami, with an additional 24 properties currently under development globally.

Julienne Smith, Senior Vice President, Development, IHG, commented:

Our EVEN Hotels brand continues to be a highly differentiated product for owners developing in diverse markets to tap into the rapidly growing global health and wellness travel segment. We know that wellness is more than a trend; it is a way of life for millions of consumers.  EVEN Hotels will continue to thrive wherever travelers seek an upscale hotel experience by empowering our guests to prioritize staying well and being balanced on their terms while they travel.

Noble Investment Group, a longtime IHG owner, was an early adopter of the EVEN Hotels brand and opened the dual-branded EVEN Hotel/Staybridge Suites Seattle Downtown in April 2019.

Mit Shah, CEO of Noble remarks:

Since opening, the EVEN Hotel has been a valuable part of our owned hotel portfolio due to its urban location in the South Lake Union market of Seattle. The hotel is proving to be a highly sought after product and experience in this top tier market with guests who prioritize fitness and wellness. IHG is highly engaged with the Noble team and is very focused on our long-term relationship and the success of our investment. We look forward to continuing to participate in the EVEN Hotels brand growth and being a part of its success.
