On the Journey to Extraordinary, There’s Always a Holiday Inn Hotel

February 11, 2015 By Lena

NOTE: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

I probably think *way too much* about the hotels I’m staying at. Whereas my husband simply asks if there’s available WiFi – and secondly, if there’s a pool – I tend to have a plethora of questions I need answered before I can settle on my final destination.

What is the experience the brand is promising me in terms of functional, emotional, and social benefits?

Is this promised experience worth my time, money and effort?

How confident am I that I will experience what the brand promises?

At InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), they’re looking to answer these questions. In their 2015 Trends Report, Trust Capital: The new business imperative in the Kinship Economy, IHG provides a blueprint that various organisations can follow to build trust with different demographics and across different geographies.
holiday-inn-hotel-and-suites-anaheim-californiaFor example, think about your own experiences when travelling with your family – or more specifically, your extended family. Chances are, the things you find important (digital solutions, effortless booking, status and prestige of the hotel) may be quite different from the things your parents value (personal service on-site, flexible booking options, reputation of the hotel). 

In fact:

·  23% of Millennials say they want to stay in hotels that say something about them, versus 11 % of Boomers, and 32% of Millennials say they want people to be impressed with their choice of a hotel, versus 12% of Boomers

· 44% of Millennials say they prefer booking hotel services (e.g. room service, spa appointments) from a mobile phone, versus 26% of Boomers

· 67% of Boomers say they would prefer to call a hotel and speak with ‘real’ people on-site for information, versus 56% of Millennials

· 31% of Millennials share their travel pictures online, versus 11% Boomers, and 34% Millennials are active on social websites, versus 13% Boomers

· 35% of Millennials and 28% of Boomers think that time is more important to them than money

Essentially, the marketing world is getting older and younger all at the same time, but not in all the same places. That’s why it’s important to find a hotel group that caters to needs of all travellers, whether it’s family-friendly amenities, mobile capabilities, or business lounges.

When you travel for business or leisure, you can’t bring your complete office or home with you, but still expect the same comforts and access to services that help make your experience seamless.
holiday-inn-winnipegHoliday Inn Hotels and Resorts offer standard amenities that cover many of the features you want and need when you’re away, making their respected hotels a preferred choice for your vacation needs.

Finding and booking an ensuite room with Holiday Inn is simple and can now be done wherever, whenever, however; by phone, online, via one of their mobile apps or through a web enabled mobile device. And, their Best Price Guarantee means they promise to offer the lowest rates available and with no booking fees.

Courtesy of InterContinental Hotels Group, I’m pleased to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a weekend (two nights) stay in a Holiday Inn or Holiday Inn Express in Canada or the US – and, the choice of destination is completely up to you!

Will you take a road trip? Maybe you’ll cross the border for a girl’s weekend getaway. Or, take the family for a staycation adventure! Whatever you decide, you can feel good putting your trust in Holiday Inn Hotels and Resorts. Simply fill the form below with your qualifying answers.

    February 11, 2015 at 11:39 pm

    I’m from The Island……No Not That One. The Other One on the West Coast and if I had to pick a hotel out of a hat, Holiday Inn would be one of my first choices if available. I have had the lucky opportunity to be able to travel around and have stayed in many hotels/motels in my immediate area (Van. Isle, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, Bellingham, interior BC and even some on the other coast. Holiday Inn always works because they have a Standard. One is like the other. Reliable. Clean. Comfortable. Homelike. Plus a bunch of other positives that you just cannot put into words. I’m a pretty simple person. Something either works, or it doesn’t. Holiday Inn does.

    Wish I could include a picture here. It would show a mature old goof in the parking lot of the Bellingham HI Express on Meridian in the parking lot beside his car, the Red Rocket (1967 Acadian Canso Sport Deluxe) with all the doors and hood and trunk wide open cleaning the road grime off the car in anticipation for the show next day with his glass of wine in hand. Holiday Inn. The next best thing to Home. Thank You!

  295. Sabrina Tong

    February 17, 2015 at 12:25 am

    I would loooooove to visit British Columbia! Most of my family has moved there in the last few years for school or to be with sons and daughters who’ve moved to school. I haven’t been anywhere in Canada except for Newfoundland 8 years ago.( I’m from Ontario) I am an artist who is just finishing 5 years of intense schooling and I never get a break, let alone the funds to travel. I crave adventure and the cool breeze of the ocean on my face. How I would give anything to go. ❤️

  299. Cory U

    February 17, 2015 at 3:44 pm

The last time we went to Oregon we camped, and we would like to do a little bit of camping again this time, but this time we will have our two little ones with us so would love to have some hotel stays on the trip too! Oregon is so beautiful, I am really looking forward to going back!

    Love the info you have shared on how people are choosing hotels. For us it’s often a matter of last minute bookings on road trips. We love the journey so we’re often looking for a bed for the night where ever our adventures have taken us. And like your husband, it must have WIFI. Working and fast. Because whenever we stop, we setup to work.

    I would stay in Canmore, the Okanagan, or Victoria. Planning an epic road trip this summer (4,000 km) so could use some help in the accommodation department. : ) Lovely writeup Lena!

    I’d like to stay in one in Hawaii since I’ve never been there. But the one in Niagara Falls, Canada is quite lovely too.

    Would positively be staying in Niagara Falls to celebrate our 10th anniversary July 16. Close enough to accommodate our need for distance and far enough away to enjoy a second honey moon .

    With two little boys and the endless to do lists we would love a family getaway to just focus on the moment and of course enjoy the pool and cuddle up and rent a movie! Fingers Crossed! This would be AMAZING!

    I had some renovations done recently and so I stayed at a holiday inn hotel and suites. It had recently been renovated and it looks beautiful. But better than that, they made totally wheelchair accessible suites and I mean totally accessible. It’s literally like an apartment with a wheel in shower etc. The most exciting thing for me was they are also pet friendly, which is really hard to find. So just imagine how hard it was for me to find a place that was wheelchair accessible and pet friendly. I live in Southern Ontario and near Niagara Falls, which of course is a major tourist area and yet this Holiday Inn was the only one who could totally fulfill my needs. If they have these suites everywhere I would highly recommend them to anyone who is handicapped or walking.
