Holiday Inn Express is an American-based mid-priced hotel chain within the IHG Hotels & Resorts family of brands. Originally founded as an "express" hotel, their focus is on offering limited services at a reasonable price. Standard amenities lean toward the convenient and practical which cater to business travelers and short-term stays. As of September 2019, there are 2,826 Holiday Inn Express hotels featuring over 292,000 rooms worldwide.[1] The chain's concept was intended to target the "upper economy" market segment.[2][3][4][5]
In Europe, the hotels were known as Express by Holiday Inn,[6] but this variation was phased out during a rebranding which was announced in 2006.
