IHG will also add five hotels under its Holiday Inn Express brand, including the 156-room Holiday Inn Express Madrid Airport (slated for June 2023), a 105-room hotel in Bilbao (August 2023), the 146-room Holiday Inn Express Seville (the group’s first property in the city, slated for November 2023), a 96-room hotel in Porto’s Boa Vista neighbourhood, and a 76-room property located in Evora, 90 minutes from Lisbon.
A 120-room Hotel Indigo property is also under development in Gibraltar, and the 208-room Holiday Inn Sant Cugat is set to open this June on the outskirts of Barcelona.
