InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has confirmed the UK debut locations for its luxury boutique brand Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants and its recently launched upscale brand, voco Hotels.

This follows the agreement in May, with Covivio (formerly Foncière des Régions), to rebrand and operate 12 high-quality open hotels in the UK and one pipeline hotel.

Nine of the hotels have joined IHG’s brand portfolio, making IHG the UK’s leading luxury hotel operator. The remaining three open hotels are expected to join IHG's portfolio in Q3 2018.

Locations of the IHG's leading luxury boutique brand Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants in the UK include London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Renowned for their innovative and playful design and personal approach to guest service, the Kimpton hotels will each be in prime UK city-centre locations.

The recently launched IHG upscale brand voco Hotels will be making its UK debut in Cardiff. Overlooking Cardiff Bay, The Principal St. David’s Hotel will become voco brand later in 2018.

It is expected that further voco hotels will be coming to the UK soon, each will keep their individuality but with the reassurance of a global brand.
