InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG®), has announced the launch of its Holiday Inn Express® brand in Russia, the CIS and Georgia as well. Cooperating with Regional Hotel Chain (RHC), the iconic western hospitality company starts off with Holiday Inn Express® Voronezh – Kirova, marking the debut of the brand in Russia. This opening comes on the heels of IHG taking its Hotel Indigo® brand to the Russia market with the opening of Hotel Indigo St Petersburg – Tchaikovskogo.
As elsewhere, the Holiday Inn brand is set to provide value for business and leisure travellers with an eye on economy and value. As always, Wi-Fi and a Holiday Inn Express Start™ breakfast are included in the room price, as are other branded amenities guests of the hotels have come to expect over the years. Robert Shepherd, Chief Development Officer, Europe, IHG, had this to add via their press release:
“Russia, the CIS and Georgia is a priority market for us and we want to be number one there. In line with our strategy we are expanding our portfolio of brands in the region and in March this year we brought our upscale boutique brand Hotel Indigo to Russia. We have also identified a gap in the market for quality, affordable mid-market accommodation and our Holiday Inn Express brand meets the needs of our owners and our guests perfectly. We’re delighted to be partnering with VIY Management and its hotel business RHC – a proven and highly respected hotel developer and operator in Russia.”
The Holiday Inn Express Voronezh – Kirova, is a 145 room affair located in the center of Voronezh city centre at Kirova Street 9/1, Voronezh. Within walking distance of all the main sites there, the hotel is perfectly situated for both business and vacationing travelers.
