IHG Hotels & Resorts celebrated the end of Q2 2025 by announcing the company has surpassed one million open rooms worldwide across more than 6,700 hotels.
IHG opened a record 31,400 guestrooms across 207 hotels in the first half of 2025, signed deals for another 324 properties and reached 4,000 open hotels in the U.S., its 800th open hotel in Greater China and record levels of openings and signings in the Europe, Middle East, Asia and Africa region.
“As we look to the future, our pipeline of more than 2,200 hotels is equivalent to further system size growth of 34 percent,” IHG CEO Elie Maalouf said in a statement.
H1 Gains
During the first half of 2025, IHG’s global revenue per available room increased 1.8 percent, with Americas up 1.4 percent, EMEAA up 4.1 percent and Greater China down 3.2 percent.
Average daily rate increased 1.4 percent while occupancy was up 0.3 percentage points.
In total, the company reported total gross revenue of $16.7 billion, up 4 percent.
System Size and Pipeline
The company reported gross system growth of 7.7 percent year over year and net system growth of +5.4 percent year over year, adjusting for the impact of removing rooms previously affiliated with The Venetian Resort Las Vegas (net growth of +4.6 percent year over year on a reported basis).
Beyond opening 31,400 guestrooms across 207 hotels in H1 (an increase of 75 percent year over year), IHG also signed another 51,200 rooms across 324 hotels, a 15 percent increase year over year excluding Ruby acquisition in 2025 and NOVUM signings in 2024. The company has a global pipeline of 338,000 rooms across 2,276 hotels as of June 30, up 4 percent year to date, and represents 34 percent of current system size.
Recent openings in the quarter include the Kimpton Mas Olas Resort & Spa, Mexico; Holiday Inn Kyoto Gojo, Japan; Voco Malta; and the Hotel Indigo Hainan Clear Water Bay, Greater China.
