IHF strengthens its presence in New Zealand with the development of a Holiday Inn hotel in Queenstown and the construction of a Holiday Inn Express unit in Christchurch - the first of the brand in the country.
Karin Sheppard, COO Australasia & Japan, IHG said: “There is high demand for hotels in key destinations across New Zealand - including both Queenstown and Christchurch - as the result of a thriving tourism economy”.
The hotel group has two additional addresses in its New Zealand portfolio: the Holiday Inn Auckland Airport and the Crowne Plaza Auckland. A third unit is currently under construction in Christchurch. As of January 2016, IHG ranked as the 3rd hotel group worldwide in terms of number of rooms according to data published by Hospitality ON. At the time, its portfolio included 5,032 hotels totaling 744,368 rooms worldwide.
