IHG boosts all-inclusive portfolio with Iberostar partnership

InterContinental Hotels and Iberostar inked a long‑ agreement for resort and all-inclusive hotels.

Up to 70 hotels will be added to IHG’s portfolio under the Iberostar Beachfront Resorts brand, which will become the 18^th brand for IHG.

The first properties set to join the IHG system this December will give IHG guests increased choice in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Brazil and the Canary Islands.

Further properties in Spain and other popular resort destinations in Southern Europe and North Africa will join through 2023 and 2024.

IHG guests will be able to book stays at hotels including Iberostar Grand Paraiso (Riviera Maya, Mexico); Iberostar Selection Hacienda Dominicus (Bayahibe and Iberostar Selection Anthelia (Tenerife, Spain).

These add to IHG’s existing 260 resort properties that span brands including Six Senses and Kimpton.

The agreement significantly broadens IHG’s resort footprint.

The portfolio of Iberostar properties will gain access to IHG’s distribution channels and the IHG One Rewards loyalty program.

The Iberostar Beachfront Resorts brand will be included in a new Exclusive Partners category.

Keith Barr, Chief Executive Officer, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are always looking at exciting, sustainable growth opportunities.”

“Guests have told us of their wish for increased choice of resort and all-inclusive destinations within our brand portfolio.”
