IHG Hotels & Resorts' Conversion-Friendly Brands Fuel Growth Opportunities for Owners
ATLANTA – Quick-to-market conversions backed by attractive brands and a powerful commercial engine are a winning combination that is driving growth for IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) and its owners. IHG has seen a steady increase of conversion activity in recent years, with its total global conversion signings nearly doubling between 2023 and 2024. Conversion hotels allow owners to capitalize on fast access to IHG's leading enterprise, including marketing, technology and distribution resources and more than 145 million IHG One Rewards loyalty members. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, conversions accounted for around 60 percent of global openings and 40 percent of global signings for IHG. Owners' growing interest in converting hotels to IHG brands signals that they continue to see tremendous value in our brands and the ability to plug into IHG's powerful enterprise system. While new build development always will remain important globally, our broad portfolio of soft brands and those that are conducive for conversions across the chain scales give owners more choice and avenues for success. Jolyon Bulley, Chief Executive Officer, Americas at IHG IHG's soft brands include Vignette Collection (in the luxury and lifestyle segment) and voco hotels (in the premium segment), which enjoyed record opening and signing totals in 2024. Premium brand Ruby will offer additional flexibility for owners interested in conversion and adaptive reuse projects, in addition to new builds, across the urban lifestyle space. In the midscale segment, the Garner hotels brand continues to deliver on its promise of quality and affordability for guests and faster ramp-up times for owners. Vignette Collection welcomes independent luxury and lifestyle hotels seeking distinct style and character while benefitting from IHG's global enterprise. Within a few years of its 2021 launch, the brand already is on pace to nearly triple its global estate and is more than 60 percent of the way to its goal of attracting 100 hotels in its first decade. Following the 2023 opening of its first Americas destination in Washington, D.C., Vignette Collection's ongoing regional expansion includes recent openings in Lima and San Francisco and signings in Japan, France and Germany. welcomes independent luxury and lifestyle hotels seeking distinct style and character while benefitting from IHG's global enterprise.

The early 2025 acquisition of premium urban lifestyle brand Ruby, now IHG's 20th global brand, brings more than 30 hotels to the portfolio. Ruby's 'urban micro' model has proven successful for new build, conversion and adaptive reuse projects across major European cities, including several openings within former office buildings and non-traditional commercial developments.
