The IHG Era in India: A Vision for 400+ Hotels by 2030

IHG Hotels & Resorts plans to expand its footprint in India to over 400 operational and in-development hotels over the next five years, underscoring the country’s importance in the company’s global growth strategy.

IHG currently operates or has signed hotels across eight brands in India, including Six Senses, InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, and Holiday Inn. As part of its expansion roadmap, the company is set to introduce its Vignette Collection brand in early 2026, strengthening its presence in the luxury and lifestyle segments. IHG has witnessed robust momentum in the Indian market, recording its third consecutive year of record signings in 2025.

The launch of new brands such as Garner, along with the rapid expansion of InterContinental, further enhances IHG’s brand portfolio in India. Commenting on the growth, Elie Maalouf, CEO of IHG Hotels & Resorts, said, “India is one of IHG’s strategic markets globally and a key contributor to our long-term growth ambitions.” Strong demand across both business and leisure travel continues to position India as one of IHG’s most dynamic and active markets worldwide
