Boasting a modern architectural design, the Holiday Inn Express Maceio Ponta Verde’s interior is decorated with a collection of local artworks and folk-art inspired crafts from the area, blending the richness of Maceió’s cultural heritage with the hotel’s contemporary and fresh style. The property also features an array of amenities, including free high-speed wireless Internet connections throughout the hotel and four meeting rooms, totalling 1,614 square feet (150 square meters) and a 100-person capacity. Other amenities include an outdoor pool, fitness centre and business centre.

Latin America’s rapidly rising middle class is leading the hotel industry to strong growth across the region, as international and intra-country travel is significantly increasing. A positive supply-and-demand outlook offers IHG-branded hotels a great opportunity to expand in many potential markets.
The hotel is owned and managed by MC3 Imóveis Ltda., under a license agreement with a company in the InterContinental Hotels Group. The hotel is located at Rua Gaspar Ferrari, 175 Ponta Verde.
