IHG Hotels & Resorts

At IHG Hotels & Resorts, we are committed to diversity and inclusion across our business creating an environment for everyone to feel welcome 🤝. That’s why we launched IHG LIFT 🏨 in 2023 - an owner growth programme focused on providing hotel development support for historically underrepresented groups in the U.S and Canada. We have committed more than $30 million over the next five years to support the program, which includes support, access to capital and help along the hotel lifecycle. We hope IHG LIFT will help to remove the common barriers to hotel ownership, empower owner-entrepreneurs for success and further diversify our hotel owner community. We know that diversifying ownership is not only better for us, it also uplifts our entire industry. #TrueHospitality

Time for a spotlight on the Americas! ✨ IHG Hotels & Resorts presence there began when we opened our first Holiday Inn in Memphis, Tenn. in 1952. Over the past seven decades, an incredible 4,446 hotels have followed across the region—with 1,079 more currently in the pipeline. Today, the Americas stands as our largest region. Of the nine brands IHG has launched or acquired in the last decade, all of them have an existing or planned presence. In October, we opened the first Regent property in the region, Regent Santa Monica Beach. With such a diverse range of properties, including the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk in Texas and voco The Tuxon in Arizona, we have stays for everyone and every occasion across the region. Beyond delivering memorable stays for our guests, we work so hard to create a space for our colleagues to flourish, which recently earned us accolades from Great Place To Work US and Fortune.

At IHG, our Employee Resource Groups like DAWN (Disability and Wellbeing Network) play a vital role in fostering inclusion, offering support and giving our colleagues a voice. Last week, DAWN brought a moment of calm and joy to our Windsor HQ with puppy therapy! In partnership with Paws in Work, colleagues were invited to take some time to focus on their mental wellbeing, connect with others and enjoy some cuddles with some adorable puppies. Our ERGs run events like this to remind us how important it is to create an inclusive workplace environment where everyone can feel seen, supported and cared for. #RoomToBelong
