avid

avid is a midtier hotel brand, modern and minimalist, and tends to draw a more youthful crowd. It’s one of those brands that promotes the social aspect of travel to help you connect with other travelers. It’s got simple open design and communal spaces. It also comes with free breakfast.

This is one of the newest IHG brands, so right now there are only a few locations, but many more are in the works.

Atwell Suites

Atwell Suites is not ready to open its doors. IHG anticipates construction on its first hotel in 2020, and probably won’t be operational until 2021. Little is known about this all-suites hotel, though IHG intends to begin its franchise with U.S. hotels.

After watching its promotional video, it looks to be another hotel focused on the social, communal audience.

Candlewood Suites

Candlewood Suites is an all-suite extended-stay hotel brand. You’ll typically find business travelers at these hotels during the week because rooms are spacious with fully equipped kitchens. This brand might not be ideal for family getaways, because most Candlewood Suites hotels don’t have a pool.

It’s usually easy to find available award nights at these hotels for reasonable prices.

Crowne Plaza

Crowne Plaza hotels are typically in major cities or near airports. Guests at these hotels are often business travelers because they’re located near corporate hubs or convention centers. But folks traveling for leisure might find the hotel locations attractive. For example, the Crowne Plaza Lima is located in the popular Miraflores District, which is next to restaurants, cafes and museums. And it’s just two miles to the popular Huaca Pucllana ruins in Lima, Peru.

EVEN Hotels

There are only 13 EVEN Hotels, with three more on the way. They are all within the U.S., including three in New York City. This brand is designed for health-conscious travelers. You’ll typically find excellent fitness centers and in-room training areas with medicine balls. Breakfast and dinner menus feature many healthy items, including a long list of organic options.

Holiday Inn

There are more than 1,100 Holiday Inn hotels throughout the world. This brand is a great option for families because children younger than 18 stay free when sharing their parents’ room and up to four kids ages 11 and under eat free any time of the day at all Holiday Inn on-site restaurant (12 and under in Europe and Asia). You’ll usually find family-friendly amenities like outdoor pools.

Holiday Inn Club Vacations

Holiday Inn Club Vacations can be a fantastic option for large families or groups. This vacation ownership chain includes 25 locations, mostly in popular tourist or beach destinations.

You don’t need to be a Vacation Club owner to stay at these hotels. Just be ready for timeshare presentations at these resorts. If you’re not interested, you can politely decline.
