IHG Hotels & Resorts Surpasses One Million Open Rooms Globally

IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced that it has surpassed one million open rooms globally. This development comes as the company continues to expand its presence in over 100 countries, supported by a growing travel industry and a strategic focus on increasing its brand portfolio.

In the first half of 2025, IHG opened a record number of rooms, contributing to several key achievements. These include reaching 4,000 open hotels in the United States and the 800th hotel in Greater China, where the company is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The company has also reported record levels of hotel openings and signings in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia (EMEAA).

IHG’s development pipeline includes over 2,200 hotels, aimed at increasing its presence in high-growth markets worldwide.

“Reaching one million rooms reflects the deep trust and confidence our guests, owners and investors place in IHG and our brands,” said Elie Maalouf, CEO 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.”
