Holiday Inn Express, a key brand under IHG Hotels, is transforming the midscale hospitality landscape in India with rapid expansion plans and new property signings. Recently, the brand opened a new hotel in Greater Noida, with future launches in major metro cities like Kolkata. Vaibhav Jain, Regional General Manager for Holiday Inn Express SWA, highlighted the brand’s growth trajectory, emphasising the increasing confidence of hotel owners in the brand and the promising outlook for business travel in the midscale segment.
The expansion reflects Holiday Inn Express’s commitment to delivering comfortable, efficient stays for business travellers. With a strong pipeline of properties in major business hubs, the brand aims to meet the evolving demands of corporate guests. Each hotel offers modern amenities, including well-lit workspaces, conveniently placed power outlets, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi—essential for remote and hybrid work models. Jain noted that these thoughtful features empower guests to stay productive while on the move.
Time efficiency remains a priority. Holiday Inn Express enhances the guest experience with Express Check-In and Check-Out services, available through the IHG One Rewards app. This technology-driven approach reduces guest waiting times by 30%, allowing seamless transitions between work and travel. Additional conveniences such as “Grab & Go” breakfasts and 24/7 gym facilities cater to the fast-paced schedules of business travellers, ensuring a hassle-free stay.
Strategically located in cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Greater Noida, Holiday Inn Express ensures accessibility to key business districts and transport hubs. This proximity not only facilitates smoother travel for corporate guests but also provides opportunities to explore local attractions during their downtime. By combining convenience with practical amenities, Holiday Inn Express continues to strengthen its foothold in India’s midscale hospitality segment.
