We are the IHG Owners Association, a dedicated collective championing the interests of those who own and operate IHG® (InterContinental Hotels Group) branded hotels across the globe. Since our establishment in 1955, we’ve fostered a rich history of collaboration and strong advocacy, working closely with IHG corporate leadership to ensure the continued success and profitability of our member hotels. Our reason for being is simple: to be a powerful, unified voice for IHG hotel owners. We believe in creating an environment where every owner's perspective is not only heard but valued and acted upon. By nurturing a strong partnership with IHG, we strive to enhance the value of our members' investments, drive operational excellence, and contribute to the overall strength and stellar reputation of IHG's diverse brand portfolio. What exactly do we do for our members? We serve as dedicated advocates within the IHG system. The Association actively engages with IHG senior leadership on crucial issues that impact your business, from brand standards and marketing initiatives to cutting-edge technology platforms, procurement strategies, and loyalty programs. We champion the integration of owner input into IHG’s strategic decisions, always striving for mutually beneficial outcomes. But we are more than just advocates. Joining the IHG Owners Association connects you to a global network of fellow IHG hotel owners and operators. Through our global conferences, regional meetings, online forums, and committee participation, our members share best practices, tackle common challenges, learn from industry experts, and forge valuable relationships that can lead to new opportunities and enhanced operational insights. We are also a hub for exclusive resources and information. We provide our members with access to industry intelligence and timely updates relevant to owning and operating IHG-branded hotels. This includes performance data, best practice guides, and insights into emerging trends, empowering you to make informed decisions and improve your hotel's performance. Ultimately, our initiatives are sharply focused on enhancing your return on investment. We meticulously scrutinize proposed programs and standards for their financial impact, advocate for cost-effective solutions, and champion initiatives that drive revenue and improve operational efficiency for our members. We offer the unique opportunity to participate in various committees that delve into specific aspects of hotel operations and brand strategy, such as technology, food & beverage, design & construction, and brand performance. This direct involvement allows owners to contribute their expertise and influence the direction of IHG brands. We also facilitate learning opportunities that help our members stay ahead in a competitive industry. Our events often feature educational sessions on relevant topics, and the peer-to-peer sharing within our network is an invaluable source of practical knowledge. As an owner of an IHG hotel, your voice matters. The IHG Owners Association ensures that your voice is amplified and that your interests are at the forefront of discussions with IHG.
