Holiday Inn Express Times Square

INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS GROUP (IHG) has reached a milestone in its campaign to upgrade its Holiday Inn brand.  IHG's $1bn (£608m) overhaul of its Holiday Inn brand is thought to be the largest campaign of its kind ever conducted in the hospitality industry.  The Holiday Inn Express New York City in Times Square is the 1,000th property to be updated and reopened under the initiative.  Actually on 39th Street and just past 8th Avenue, the hotel has 210 rooms spread over 31 floors.  Andy Cosslett, Chief Executive of IHG, said: "Despite the tough economic climate, we've relaunched, on average, four hotels a day for the past six months and we're committed to completing the global relaunch by the end of 2010." www.ihg.com
