As the world becomes increasingly connected, travel and hospitality have become essential components of modern life. At the forefront of this revolution is the iconic Holiday Inn brand, which has been a trusted name in travel and hospitality for generations.

With a legacy of innovation and commitment to excellence, Holiday Inn has consistently pushed the boundaries of what travelers expect from their hotel stay. From its early days as a pioneering hotel chain with a footprint in all 50 U.S. states to its current status as a global leader in travel and hospitality, Holiday Inn has been a driving force in shaping the industry.

As the first hotel chain to introduce a centralized hotel reservation system, Holidex, in collaboration with IBM, Holiday Inn revolutionized the industry by making it easier for travelers to book and plan their trips. This innovation paved the way for future technological advancements across the travel industry, making it easier for travelers to plan and book their trips with ease.

Today, Holiday Inn continues to evolve alongside the changing needs of travelers. The brand has unveiled a refreshed and modernized prototype for its Americas estate, with the first fully renovated hotel set to debut in early 2025. This new design will feature a modern exterior that blends classic elements with modern touches, elevated food and beverage options that cater to travelers' cravings, around-the-clock convenience with an open market offering essentials for travel, and a refreshed welcome area featuring a re-imagined interior layout that sets the tone for a comfortable stay.

In addition to these updates, the guest rooms will be designed with four distinct zones for seamless functionality: a welcome zone resembling a home entryway for convenient belongings storage; a versatile work/relax zone with a dedicated desk space, lounge area, and easy connectivity; a cozy sleep zone with a comfortable bed that features tech plug-ins on either side of the headboard; and a refresh zone offering a bright and clean bathroom. These innovative features are designed to make every aspect of the travel experience more enjoyable and convenient.

With its commitment to providing exceptional service and amenities, Holiday Inn is dedicated to making every guest feel like they are part of the family. Whether traveling for business or pleasure, Holiday Inn's goal is to provide travelers with an unforgettable experience that makes them feel valued and appreciated. As Raul Ortiz, Vice President of Global Marketing & Brand Management for Holiday Inn, notes, "Trust is invaluable... it's something that's earned year after year through our dedication to providing exceptional service and amenities." With its rich history of innovation and commitment to excellence, Holiday Inn remains at the forefront of the travel and hospitality industry, setting the standard for years to come.
