IHG South East Asia and Korea development vice-president Serena Lim said: “It is fantastic to work with Marlow Hotels & Resorts on our second property together and we thank them for their continued trust in IHG.
“We are accelerating our growth in Singapore, having opened Holiday Inn Singapore Little India and voco Orchard Singapore in the past year. This agreement takes us to 14 hotels in the country, covering a wide portfolio of brands that appeal to all types of travellers.
“The Holiday Inn Express brand celebrated its 30th anniversary last year and accounts for more than a third of IHG’s global pipeline. Its simple and smart travel experience provides an avenue for that warm in-person connection that has been so missed over the past two years. We look forward to increasing its brand presence across all of our markets in the region.”
In March this year, IHG opened 312-room Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins in Melbourne, Australia.
