InterContinental Hotels Group announces the opening of the Holiday Inn Express® hotel in Yopal, Colombia.
Located approximately 200 miles from Bogota in the northeastern region of Colombia, the new-build, 89-room hotel is situated in downtown Yopal, the capital city of the Department of Casanare.
Well-situated to meet the needs of travelers to the area, the Holiday Inn Express Yopal is located near four major international oil refineries and processing plants: Halliburton, Perenco, Equionand Ecopetrol. “Yopal has experienced a significant increase in business travelers due to the recent boom in the local oil industry, and the Holiday Inn Express brand is ideal to meet the growing demand of these travelers,” said Gerardo Murray, regional vice president, Distribution and Commercial Marketing, Mexico, Latin America and Caribbean, IHG.
“The hotel’s convenient location near restaurants and local attractions also makes it a perfect destination for leisure travelers.” With the addition of the Holiday Inn Express® hotel in Yopal, there are now 10IHG hotels in Colombia, with seven more hotels in the development pipeline including Barranquilla, Bogotá, Cartagena and Cucuta. “It is very exciting to expand IHG’s Holiday Inn Express brand in new cities,” said Alvaro Diago, chief operating officer, Latin America and Caribbean, Americas, IHG. “IHG already has a vast portfolio of internationally recognized brands in Colombia, and opening this hotel in Yopal is in line with IHG’s growth strategy in the country.”
The Holiday Inn Express brand is one of the largest and fastest-growing hotel brands in the industry, and in order to meet the ever-changing needs of its guest, IHG invested in the $1 billion Holiday Inn Portfolio of Brands’ global relaunch, the largest in hospitality history. The relaunch continues to drive increased quality and consistency across the global portfolio, and new hotels feature a contemporary image with emphasis on arrival and welcome services, guestroom and guest bath comfort and a redesigned logo and signage.
