New Holiday Inn Quito Airport opens its doors

The new Holiday Inn Quito Airport hotel officially opened its doors with an event that brought together tourism officials and other local dignitaries while observing all Covid-safety measures.

The latest Holiday Inn addition, one of the most reliable and globally recognized brands owned by IHG Hotels & Resorts, gives continuity to its presence in Ecuador, where it already operated the Holiday Inn Guayaquil Airport. This new property in Quito is north of the city, close to the Mariscal Sucre International Airport. It is also near the main corporate complexes and large shopping centers.

Modern and functional, thanks to its state-of-the-art H4 design, reflecting the brand's constant innovation, the new property is a full-service hotel with 125 comfortable and spacious rooms, event rooms with capacity for up to 180 people, an outdoor pool, a 24-hour gym and spa, and shuttle service to and from the airport. Whether guests are waiting to take off or just landed, the spectacular view of the nearby mountains is not to be missed.

The hotel restaurant offers a regional and international menu. Available to guests are an executive floor with preferential check-in service, buffet breakfast, open bar, and afternoon snacks.

As travel resumes, IHG hotels warmly welcomes guests with a continued focus on providing flexibility for unexpected plan changes as well as clean, comfortable, and reliable stays for those traveling. Guests can rest easy and count on IHG's commitment to cleanliness and its Clean Promise to each guest, including those meeting with colleagues or business partners for the first time in a long time.

IHG executives shared virtual video messages with attendees at the event with Elie Maalouf, CEO, The Americas, IHG, wishing the owners and property future success, noting: "BPO Consulting Group and Juan Carlos Santos are valued, longtime partners for IHG, and it's always a privilege to work with their teams to develop exciting new hotels like this Holiday Inn, which has everything travelers expect from this well-known and trusted hotel brand. I congratulate all involved for this significant accomplishment achieved amid the COVID crisis and look forward to visiting soon."

Jorge Apaez, Chief Operating Officer for Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean at IHG, added:  “This Holiday Inn will deliver a great guest experience for visitors to the beautiful country of Ecuador, and its capital city and, with proximity to Quito's Mariscal Sucre International Airport, I'm sure it will soon become a favorite of travelers from around the globe.”

With great optimism and a positive message, attendees of the event celebrated this sign of the ongoing recovery of the tourism industry. This new hotel will generate more than 100 direct and indirect jobs along with the 21-million-dollar investment, financed entirely with Ecuadorian capital. In this way, IHG Hotels & Resorts shows owners and consumers the value of Holiday Inn as a resilient and essential hospitality brand, carrying both leisure and business appeal.
