IHG Hotels & Resorts has revealed it has exceeded one million open rooms worldwide, reflecting the growing demand for its brands.
Driven by a thriving travel industry and a well-established global strategy, IHG has achieved significant growth. It has opened hundreds of hotels annually and doubling its brand portfolio to 20 over the past decade to cater to every type of stay in more than 100 countries.
This momentum is powered by one of the world’s largest hotel loyalty programs, IHG One Rewards, along with a cutting-edge technology platform that delivers greater choice and exceptional experiences for millions of guests and thousands of hotel owners worldwide.
Reaching one million open rooms is more than a milestone—it reflects the countless memorable moments experienced by over a million guests in IHG hotels each day. From new adventures and chance meetings to family weddings, reunions, business breakthroughs, and even global diplomacy, IHG’s 6,700-plus hotels provide warm and welcoming spaces filled with laughter, celebrations, handshakes, and friendship.
To commemorate this milestone, IHG is honouring these meaningful moments as part of its ongoing commitment to deliver True Hospitality for Good.
“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.”
IHG set a new record for room openings in the first half of 2025 and marked several significant milestones over the past year, including surpassing 4,000 open hotels in the US, celebrating its 800th hotel in Greater China during its 50th anniversary in the region, and achieving record numbers of openings and signings in EMEAA. Looking forward, IHG is poised for continued growth with a development pipeline of more than 2,200 hotels aimed at expanding its footprint in high-growth markets worldwide.
