This
property brings three IHG®-branded hotels to Ecuador including the
current Holiday Inn Express® Quito hotel, and the upcoming Holiday
Inn® Guayaquil Airport hotel slated to open next month.
The
hotel will be located approximately 22 miles from Quito’s city
center and one mile from the new Mariscal Sucre International
Airport, built to expand the capacity of the city’s former airport
and estimated to serve five million travelers annually with room for
future expansion. Surrounded by the Andes Mountains, Quito is the
second most populous city in Ecuador and a UNESCO World Heritage
site, having one of the best-preserved historic city centers in the
Americas.
The
new hotel will be designed in line with the Holiday Inn brand
family’s $1 billion global brand relaunch, the largest project of
its kind in hospitality history. The relaunch continues to drive
increased quality and consistency across the global portfolio. The
hotel will feature a contemporary image with emphasis on arrival and
welcome services, guestroom and guest bath comfort and a redesigned
logo and signage.
Scheduled
to debut in 2016, the four-story Holiday Inn Quito Airport will boast
a modern facade and design featuring 130 guestrooms. The location is
intended to cater to both corporate and leisure travelers, looking
for accommodations close to the airport. The hotel will be equipped
with maximum sound insulation, built to minimize airport noise to
ensure a pleasurable and convenient stay for guests, and will also
feature an array of on-site amenities, including an indoor swimming
pool, restaurant, fitness center and 6,000 sq.-ft. of meeting space.
Room Service Right … On Time™, at all Holiday Inn hotels, ensures
that guests’ room service orders are accurate and delivered on
time, every time.
Holiday
Inn hotels feature a residential atmosphere that is warm, trend
forward and comfortable. Guest beds are made using crisp, white
bedding with pillows that come in two comfort levels: “soft” and
“firm.” The residential design will include business-focused
necessities such as an ergonomic workstation and data ports with the
bathrooms including a multifunctional showerhead, as well as a
signature shower curtain with curved rod, and amenities.
Additionally, each room will have standard Holiday Inn guestroom
accommodations – comfortable double, queen or king-sized beds, a
sitting area with a lounge chair, hairdryer, micro fridge, coffee
maker, iron and ironing board.
The
hotel is owned by BPO Asesores Empresariales S.A., which also owns
the Holiday Inn Guayaquil Airport opening later this year and is
franchised by an affiliate of IHG. IHG has 42 Holiday Inn hotels and
Holiday Inn Express hotels throughout Latin America and the
Caribbean, and has been serving Latin America for more than 65 years.
With hotels situated in nearly every key market throughout the
region, IHG has more than 75 hotels in Central and South America and
the Caribbean.
