Unveiling Paradise: A Glimpse into IHG’s Luxurious Offerings

Six Senses

World-renowned for providing the ultimate wellness and sustainability experiences set within some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes, Six Senses made its highly anticipated debut in the region this April with the opening of Six Senses La Sagesse in Grenada. The island’s incredible natural beauty and soul-connecting cultural experiences provide the perfect backdrop for a journey of discovery, rejuvenation, and celebration. Travelers can immerse themselves in the resort’s unique experiences that connect them with Grenada’s Spice Island heritage, including farm-to-table cooking, a spa designed to leverage the abundance of fragrant spices with medicinal healing properties, and culinary menus brought to life with bold flavors using local produce grown in the island’s fertile volcanic soil. Six Senses is poised to continue its thoughtful expansion in the region with the forthcoming Six Senses Grand Bahama and Six Senses Xala, expected to open by 2026.

InterContinental Hotels & Resorts

InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, the world’s first and largest luxury hotel brand, currently has the greatest presence amongst the luxury and lifestyle portfolio in MLAC with 20 open properties. In Spring 2023, the brand celebrated the opening of InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Nature Spa, a secluded beachfront sanctuary set amidst the island of Dominica’s natural beauty. As InterContinental continues to expand in the region, IHG announces it will open the 293-room InterContinental Presidente Monterrey in Mexico with longstanding partner Grupo Presidente in the second half of 2024. Set within San Pedro Garza García in Monterrey, the hotel will feature exceptional experiences, including a signature restaurant, craft cocktail bar and coffee shop, as well as an onsite spa offering rejuvenating treatments, more than 20,000 square feet of meetings and events space, and a Club InterContinental lounge. With its proximity to the area’s exciting culinary destinations, museums and shopping, InterContinental Presidente Monterrey will be perfectly positioned to welcome leisure and business travelers alike. Looking further ahead, the InterContinental Grenada Resort is projected to open in 2025.

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants:

Celebrated for having pioneered the concept of unique, design-forward hotels that ignite the spirit through expansive experiences, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants continues its exciting growth momentum in MLAC following the opening of Kimpton Grand Roatán Resort & Spa in Fall 2023. Demonstrating a strong start to 2024, the boutique luxury brand debuted Kimpton Virgilio in Mexico City’s vibrant Polanquito neighborhood in February, followed in April by Kimpton Mas Olas Resort & Spa in the charming coastal town of Todos Santos on Mexico’s Baja Sur peninsula. Early this summer, it is slated to open the 130-room Kimpton Las Mercedes, located in the Dominican Republic’s bustling Santo Domingo, in partnership with Iberostar Group. As Kimpton continues to innovate and expand its offerings for guests, the brand is also set to unveil its first all-inclusive beachfront resort, Kimpton Tres Ríos Riviera Maya, before year’s end.

Vignette Collection:

Vignette Collection, IHG’s newest luxury and lifestyle brand that debuted in 2021, is a curation of distinct hand-picked hotels offering one-of-a-kind stays, all united by a sense of purpose. Representing the brand’s first signing in both Mexico and within the Americas, El Gran Encomendero in the Yucatán Peninsula will become the first branded hotel in the historic town of Valladolid. Expected to open in 2025, the 83-room property is set within an on-the-rise destination for international leisure travel, business events and weddings. Valladolid recently received the coveted “Magical Towns” designation from the Mexican Ministry of Tourism for its efforts to protect and preserve cultural wealth.

Hotel Indigo:

As The World’s Neighborhood Hotel, Hotel Indigo draws inspiration from each hotel’s surrounding neighborhood and culture to create a warm and vibrant atmosphere that inspires guests to discover something new. Earlier this month, the fast-growing lifestyle brand revealed the much-anticipated Hotel Indigo Grand Cayman on Grand Cayman’s famed Seven Mile Beach. The unparalleled island oasis boasts 282 exceptional water-view guest rooms, multi-concept dining including one of the island’s only rooftop lounges, elevated pool and beachside experiences, and abundant event spaces for the local community and visiting guests to enjoy. This opening in the region follows that of Hotel Indigo La Paz Puerta Cortés, nestled between the Sea of Cortez and La Paz Bay in Mexico, in January and precedes Hotel Indigo Tijuana, which is expected to open later this year.

The Future Looks Bright: A Thriving Pipeline and Continued Expansion

IHG’s commitment to luxury and lifestyle in the MLAC region is further emphasized by recent milestone signings in Turks & Caicos for InterContinental, Kimpton, and Hotel Indigo. These exquisite resorts, all set to open by 2027, mark IHG’s exciting debut on this celebrated Caribbean island.

Fueled by strategic acquisitions and brand launches, IHG’s luxury and lifestyle portfolio has become a hospitality powerhouse. With over 850 open and pipeline hotels globally, you’re guaranteed to find the perfect luxurious escape to match your travel desires.
