InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) will launch its budget Holiday Inn Express brand at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport.
The company has signed an agreement to take over the running of the existing Eaton Smart New Delhi Airport Transit Hotel, which was the first hotel to open in the transit area of an Indian airport terminal. The 93-room property will now be rebranded as the Holiday Inn Express New Delhi International Airport Terminal 3 by the end of this year.
Shantha de Silva, IHG’s head of Southwest Asia, said the hotel would serve a rising number of passengers, following an expansion plan that aims double the airport’s capacity by 2030.
“We see a real opportunity to draw transit guests into our hotel with our Holiday Inn Express brand offering and look forward to delivering great guest experiences to even more people when the expansion of the new terminal is complete,” said de Silva.
Guests at the Holiday Inn Express will be able to access food and beverage options at both the domestic and international terminals, plus a dedicated hotel dining area, the ‘Great Room’, and spa facilities. All rooms will be equipped with free Wi-Fi, while other services include a self-service business centre and laundry room and a 24-hour fitness centre.
IHG currently operates 25 hotels across four brands in India, but is planning to significantly expand in the country over the next few years with 51 properties in the pipeline. Approximately 18 of these will be Holiday Inn Express hotels.
