InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG®) has announced the signing of Holiday Inn® Stavropol – the first internationally branded hotel in the city. IHG will manage the hotel on behalf of new owner Metropolia 26 LLC. Set to open in 2017, the 242-room newly constructed hotel will feature the Holiday Inn brand’s signature Open Lobby with a dining area, media lounge and bar as well as state-of-the-art meeting facilities including five meeting rooms and a ballroom.
The Holiday Inn Open Lobby is an innovative approach and in-hotel experience for guests, which has transformed the traditional hotel lobby format by combining the front desk, lobby, restaurant, bar, lounge area and business centre into one open, cohesive space, while refreshing the design to give it a more contemporary feel. The concept has been established by understanding how people use space at home in order to give guests the most flexibility, whether they’re looking to eat, relax, work, or have fun in one integrated space.
The hotel will be part of a multi-development project in an area close to the city’s cultural hub. It is anticipated the hotel will meet increasing hospitality demand from the area’s surrounding corporate business.
IHG recently signed a management agreement with new owner LLC “UK Platinum” to open Holiday Inn® St Petersburg – Kremenchugskaya. The 170 room hotel due to open in 2017 is located close to the Moskovsky railway station – the city’s main connection to Moscow.
