The hotel's proximity to one of Europe's top attractions is likely to attract a significant number of tourists, boosting local tourism and the economy. This development also highlights IHG's commitment to expanding its presence in France, where it already has 70 open hotels and 10 more in development. The addition of this hotel is expected to enhance IHG's brand visibility and competitiveness in the European hospitality industry.
What's Next?
As the hotel is set to open in the second half of 2026, IHG will likely focus on the conversion process and marketing strategies to attract guests.

Additionally, IHG's continued expansion in Europe could lead to further hotel signings and developments in the region.
