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

February 11, 2015 By Lena 424 Comments

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.

    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!

    I’d like to stay at the Holiday Inn in Toronto. I want to visit the aquarium and o.noir so the ability to spend a weekend in T.O would be excellent.

    Charlottetown would be my ideal choice, but it would be an expensive flight! Montreal would also be lovely.

    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.
