IHG has unveiled the first UK Holiday Inn Express properties to feature its next-generation hotel concept.
The new design – which was “modelled entirely on guest insight” – has now been implemented at the following hotels:
- new-build Holiday Inn Express Grimsby
- refurbished Holiday Inn Express London - Park Royal
- refurbished Holiday Inn Express London - Ealing
- refurbished Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth – North
- Smart TVs allowing guests to stream from personal devices of log in to apps such as Netflix
- A larger bed with “noise-reducing headboard which takes inspiration from a business class aeroplane seat”
- The removal of the traditional work desk in favour of an “ergonomically designed multi-use chair and table that can be moved around the room”
- Iron, ironing board and hairdryer housed behind a full length mirror
- Guests can now choose their room subject to availability, with tablets displaying location relative to hotel amenities, stairs, lifts and emergency exit
