“Bengaluru continues to be a key market for IHG, given its status as a global technology and business hub and its position as the second fastest-growing major metropolis in India. With this latest signing, the Holiday Inn Express brand portfolio now has five hotels in the city, a testament to the brand’s strategic growth and responsiveness to the sustained demand for modern accommodation.
He added, “The hotel’s strategic location in the Central Business District will ensure seamless access for business and leisure travellers alike, offering a smart and comfortable stay.”
