Milestone: IHG Hotels Surpasses 1 Million Open Rooms Worldwide

IHG Hotels & Resorts has surpassed one million open rooms across the globe, as demand for its brands continues to grow.

Buoyed by an expanding travel industry and a proven global strategy, IHG has experienced remarkable growth, opening hundreds of hotels every year and doubling its brand portfolio to 20 in the past decade to offer a stay for every occasion in over 100 countries.

Helping fuel this expansion is one of the world's largest hotel loyalty programmes, IHG One Rewards, and an industry-leading suite of technology that provides more choice and incredible experiences than ever before for millions of guests and thousands of hotel owners worldwide.

Hitting one million open rooms is much more than just a milestone; it represents the countless unforgettable moments unfolding for over a million guests in IHG hotels every day.

From new discoveries and encounters, family weddings and reunions with loved ones, to business connections and breakthroughs, and global diplomacy, IHG’s more than 6,700 hotels serve as welcoming spaces filled with laughter, handshakes, vows, cheers, and friendship.

To mark the achievement, IHG is celebrating these special moments as part of its enduring promise to provide True Hospitality for Good.

IHG opened a record number of rooms in the first half of 2025 and has celebrated several key achievements in the past year, including reaching 4,000 open hotels in the US, its 800th open hotel in Greater China as it commemorates its 50th anniversary in the region, and record levels of openings and signings in EMEAA.

Looking ahead, IHG has strong momentum, with a development pipeline of over 2,200 hotels set to increase its presence in high growth markets globally.
