IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced that it will introduce all six brands in its Luxury & Lifestyle category in Saudi Arabia by 2028.
IHG first entered Saudi Arabia in 1975 with the opening of InterContinental Riyadh. The country has since become a key market for the company, with 48 hotels currently open and 62 under development.
Most recently, Kimpton KAFD Riyadh opened, marking Kimpton’s first entry into the Middle East. Upcoming openings include Six Senses Amaala, Six Senses AlUla, Regent Jeddah Corniche, and Hotel Indigo & Residences Al Khobar.
Saudi Arabia aims to attract 150 million tourists by 2030, and IHG is building a structure that can meet every type of demand through its broad range of brands. In 2023, the company established an office in Riyadh and has been strengthening relationships with owners and advancing cooperation with public- and private-sector partners.
