IHG
(InterContinental Hotels Group) and Grupo Hotelero Latinoamérica,
announce the opening of the Holiday Inn Express® Veracruz Boca del
Rio.
This
is the sixth IHG-branded hotel in this region; previously opened
IHG-branded hotels in Veracruz include two Crowne Plaza® hotels,
three Holiday Inn® hotels and a Hotel Indigo® boutique hotel.
"Veracruz
is a strong and diverse destination with robust demand, which is a
tremendous growth opportunity for our franchisees,” said Gerardo
Murray, vice president, Marketing Strategic Services, for IHG in
Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean. “IHG is focused on finding
the right platforms to introduce the Holiday Inn Express® brand,
which is designed to offer business and leisure travelers a
comfortable, fresh, and modern experience."
The
120-room Holiday Inn Express Veracruz Boca del Rio features a
contemporary style. The new-build hotel opens following a $10 million
investment by Grupo Hotelero Latinoamérica, and is strategically
located in the fast-developing areas of Veracruz and Boca del Rio.
The hotel, on Blvd. Adolfo Ruiz Cortines 4298, is in close proximity
to the Plaza Las Americas mall, and within walking distance of the
World Trade Center Veracruz. Additionally, the hotel is just 15
minutes away from the General Heriberto Jara International Airport.
The
Holiday Inn Express Veracruz Boca del Rio was also 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 new hotel features a contemporary image
with emphasis on arrival and welcome services, guestroom and guest
bath comfort and a redesigned logo and signage.
All
rooms are equipped with complimentary wireless internet access,
ironing kit (iron and ironing board), coffee maker, safety deposit
box, flat
screen TV, radio-alarm clock with support for
audio, and a desk with an ergonomic chair. Other amenities include a
fully equipped fitness centre, a meeting room and covered parking for
200 cars.
Guests

preferred guest upgrades to ensure a pleasurable experience. The
complimentary Express Start® breakfast bar features a full range of
breakfast items, including a rotation of egg and meat selections,
biscuits, yogurt, fruit, pancakes, the brand's proprietary cinnamon
roll, and Smart Roast® coffee. The SimplySmart™ shower

towels and a custom line of cinnamon-scented bath products. Guests
