Insights from IHG’s Cameron Burke on Luxury and Lifestyle Hotels
IHG Hotels and Resorts is one of the top hospitality companies in the world, and it’s adapting to new travel trends. Today’s travelers want more than just a place to stay. They seek stylish designs, personalized services, and local experiences.
To meet these expectations, IHG is working closely with partners to enhance performance and develop its luxury and lifestyle offerings in Australasia and the Pacific. In fact, over 30% of IHG’s development projects in this region focus on luxury hotels, resorts, and branded residences.
This year, we reached an exciting milestone by signing the Kimpton Teneriffe in Brisbane. This 155-room hotel highlights the growing popularity of the Kimpton brand in the area. We also celebrated the opening of InterContinental Auckland, which received great enthusiasm. Looking ahead, we’re excited about the upcoming openings of Hotel Indigo Little Collins and Hotel Indigo Auckland in 2025. Both projects promise to elevate their surroundings with upscale, lifestyle-focused hospitality.
Our commitment to expanding in Australasia and the Pacific reflects our belief in the region’s bright future. We aim to create great experiences for our guests while supporting our owners and IHG One Rewards members. Stay tuned for more updates on our upcoming luxury and lifestyle projects, which are set to raise the bar for hospitality next year.
