IHG has ambitious plans for HUALUXE Hotels and Resorts in Greater China and internationally. Since IHG first announced the launch of the brand in 2012, it has signed 24 hotels into the pipeline in 20 cities across China including Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu. All 24 hotels are due to open over the next 3 to 5 years. As Chinese outbound travel continues to grow and gain momentum, IHG also plans to introduce the brand into key international destinations, such as London and New York, to meet the specific requirements of the Chinese travellers wherever they may be.
