IHG Hotels & Resorts – which owns many of the world’s leading hotel brands like InterContinental, Voco, Ruby, Holiday Inn, Iberostar, Vignette Collection and Crowne Plaza – has posted a strong set of financial results for 2025 despite trading headwinds.
The group posted revenues of $5.2bn, up 5% on the previous 12 months; and operating profits of $1.2bn, which was up 15% on the previous year. Global RevPAR was up 1.5%, driven by particular growth in the EMEAA region.
Earlier this week, IHG launched its new premium hotel brand Noted Collection – IHG Hotels & Resorts Unveils New Premium Brand: ‘Noted Collection’ | ittn.ie.
Elie Maalouf, Chief Executive Officer, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Thanks to the hard work of our teams we delivered excellent financial performance in 2025 and in the face of some turbulent trading conditions. There was also further progress on our clear strategy to unlock IHG’s full potential for all stakeholders. We accelerated the growth of our brands, expanded in key markets, strengthened hotel owner returns, drove ancillary fee streams, delivered cost efficiencies and returned surplus capital to shareholders. Collectively, this powered adjusted EPS growth of +16%.
“We opened a record 443 hotels in the year and added another 694 into our pipeline, including the highest ever hotel openings and signings in Greater China, as owner demand for our brands continues to increase globally. With over 6,900 open hotels around the world, as we look to the future, our pipeline of a further 2,300 properties is equivalent to system growth of +33%.”
