IHG unveils H4 guestroom design
InterContinental Hotels Group has announced the opening of Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Bellingham, a newbuild 153-key property in Bellingham, Washington. Located steps away from Bellingham International Airport, the hotel is the first Holiday Inn to feature the brand’s new H4 design, which was developed in collaboration with Holiday Inn hotel owners and frequent guests to meet the changing needs of modern leisure and business travellers.
Eric Lent, Vice President, Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza, The Americas, explains: “Since its inception more than 60 years ago, the Holiday Inn brand has been a part of countless memorable experiences for travellers the world over. It’s important for a brand with as much history as Holiday Inn to continually reinvent itself in order to maintain its place in the hearts and minds of guests. With H4, we’ve once again raised the expectation of what a great hotel stay can be, and we are thrilled to welcome the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Bellingham to the IHG family as the first of many properties to come featuring this innovative new design.”
The H4 guestroom design is billed as a flexible solution that adapts to each guests’ individual needs as they change throughout their stay. As part of its design, the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Bellingham hotel features: A welcome nook that serves as a drop zone for guests to hang their coat; an entirely new room type incorporating a trundle-style bed which doubles as a sofa; a moveable desk; and five dedicated power points throughout.
Ragan Humphrey, General Manager, Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Bellingham comments: “We can’t wait to welcome guests traveling to the beautiful Pacific Northwest to the new Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Bellingham. With wonderfully designed rooms, spacious public areas and state of the art conference facilities, we have everything covered whatever the reason travellers stay. We are confident that our hotel will quickly become a favourite choice of leisure and business travellers visiting the area.”
