Melbourne, Australia – 11 May 2017 –
The Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins is scheduled to open in 2020, adding 299 rooms to Melbourne’s boutique Little Collins Street.
Matthew Tripolone, InterContinental Hotel Group’s head of development, Australasia, said: “The ‘rest and go’ brand appeals to people seeking a place to rest, recharge and get on their way, giving travellers everything they need, plus that bit more where it matters most.
“As the world’s fastest growing hotel brand, Holiday Inn Express has helped us to build IHG’s strongest development pipeline in a decade. It certainly gives us another big advantage in the select service space.”
The hotel will feature a fitness centre, meeting and laundry facilities, and the “Great Room” with a complimentary guest breakfast buffet and a “grab-and-go-style market pantry”.
IHG currently has 26 hotels operating under four brands in Australia: InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express.
