IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), a global leader in the hospitality industry, proudly announces significant growth in its luxury and lifestyle portfolio across Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean (MLAC). With a focus on strategic investment and ambitious growth plans, IHG is set to more than double its presence in the region. In 2024 alone, five new properties have opened, with 32 more in the pipeline.

New and Upcoming Openings

IHG’s latest additions in MLAC feature a mix of prime destinations, meticulously designed resorts, and unique urban experiences catering to both leisure and business travelers.

Six Senses

Renowned for its wellness and sustainability offerings, Six Senses made its regional debut in April with Six Senses La Sagesse in Grenada. This resort offers guests a unique experience, blending Grenada’s natural beauty with cultural heritage through activities like farm-to-table cooking and spice-infused spa treatments. Future openings include Six Senses Grand Bahama and Six Senses Xala, slated for completion by 2026.

InterContinental Hotels & Resorts

As the world’s first and largest luxury hotel brand, InterContinental leads the MLAC portfolio with 20 properties. In 2023, it opened the InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Nature Spa, a serene beachfront retreat. In late 2024, InterContinental will open a 293-room hotel in Monterrey, Mexico, featuring a signature restaurant, craft cocktail bar, spa, and extensive meeting spaces. The brand will also introduce the InterContinental Grenada Resort in 2025.

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants

Kimpton, known for its unique, design-forward hotels, continues to expand in MLAC. Following the opening of Kimpton Grand Roatán Resort & Spa in 2023, the brand introduced Kimpton Virgilio in Mexico City and Kimpton Mas Olas Resort & Spa in Todos Santos in early 2024. Upcoming openings include Kimpton Las Mercedes in Santo Domingo and the brand’s first all-inclusive resort, Kimpton Tres Ríos Riviera Maya.

Vignette Collection

Vignette Collection, IHG’s newest brand, features hand-picked hotels offering unique experiences. El Gran Encomendero in Valladolid, Mexico, will be the brand’s first property in the Americas, expected to open in 2025. This 83-room hotel is set in a town recently designated as a “Magical Town” by the Mexican Ministry of Tourism.

Hotel Indigo

Hotel Indigo, known for reflecting local culture, recently opened Hotel Indigo Grand Cayman on Seven Mile Beach. This island oasis offers 282 water-view rooms, rooftop dining, and vibrant event spaces. In early 2024, Hotel Indigo La Paz Puerta Cortés welcomed its first guests, and Hotel Indigo Tijuana is anticipated to open by the end of the year.

Future Expansion in Turks & Caicos

IHG has announced three new properties in Turks & Caicos for InterContinental, Kimpton, and Hotel Indigo, all set to open by 2027, marking IHG’s debut on the picturesque Caribbean island.

With a series of strategic acquisitions and new brand launches, IHG has expanded its luxury and lifestyle portfolio, making it one of the largest in the hospitality industry. Globally, these brands now represent a significant and growing segment of IHG’s portfolio, with over 850 properties open or in development.
