IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, is set to open more than 25 highly-anticipated Kimpton hotels across 20 new global destinations.

The new openings will include hotels in Mexico City, Paris, Barcelona, Bali and Shanghai, in the next three to five years.

These openings reflect the opportunity across the boutique hotel sector, which is among the fastest growing in the industry.
