IHG Opens Second voco Hotel in UK

InterContinental Hotels Group has signed a franchise agreement with CL Capital to debut voco, IHG’s new upscale brand, in Solihull, England.

The 180-room voco St. John’s, Solihull hotel will be managed by Kew Green Hotels (KGH) and will be the second voco property in the UK, following the opening of voco St. David’s in Cardiff, Wales.

The hotel recently underwent a transformative refurbishment to the guest rooms, lobby, and the hotel’s restaurant and bar.

Karan Khanna, IHG’s Managing Director, UK & Ireland, said, “We are excited to open our second voco property in the UK following the successful launch of voco St. David’s in Cardiff. With a focus on conversion opportunities, the voco brand allows us to retain the existing charm of an independent hotel whilst also bringing the reassurances of a trusted brand, along with the power and strength of IHG’s systems.”

IHG is aiming to open more than 200 voco hotels globally over the next 10 years.

The General Manager at voco St. John's, Solihull is Jane Bowler.
