• The first Holiday Inn opened in Memphis, Tennessee in 1952. The chain was established to provide inexpensive accommodations for families and travelers within the US. It was acquired by the Intercontinental Hotels Group (IGH) in 1990.

  In October 2007, IHG announced a worldwide relaunch of the Holiday Inn brand including a redesigned "welcome experience" along with signature bedding and bathroom products.

  Included within the Holiday Inn brand is Holiday Inn Express, a mid-priced chain of "express" hotels which focuses on value and convenience for business travelers who don't require more than the most standard amenities.
