IHG Expands Presence with Holiday Inn Sriperumbudur Signing

Holiday Inn Development Supports IHG Growth in Tamil Nadu

IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Thanishq Grande Hotels & Resorts to develop Holiday Inn Sriperumbudur in Tamil Nadu. The hotel is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2029 and will add to IHG’s presence in the state, with a focus on established industrial and commercial markets across India.

The Holiday Inn brand, part of IHG’s global portfolio, is positioned to serve both business and leisure travellers, with a focus on consistent service and practical amenities suited to modern travel needs.

Located in Sriperumbudur, the 200-key hotel will cater to a mix of corporate, transit and religious travel demand. The property is planned to include standard rooms and suites, three dining venues, a ballroom, a swimming pool, and a fitness centre, offering a balanced stay for different traveller segments.

Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said the signing aligns with the company’s strategy to expand in key commercial locations. He noted that the project also marks the third collaboration between IHG and Thanishq Grande Hotels & Resorts.

Sudeesh Srinivas, Managing Director, and Keerthan Sudeesh, CEO of Thanishq Grande Hotels & Resorts, stated that the partnership will introduce the Holiday Inn brand to Sriperumbudur, supported by IHG’s operational systems and distribution network.

Sriperumbudur has developed into an industrial and investment hub, supported by its proximity to Chennai Port and its location along the Chennai–Bangalore highway. The presence of manufacturing facilities, Software Technology Parks and the aerospace cluster at Vallam Vadagal has contributed to increased business activity in the region. Growth in logistics and warehousing has also supported demand for organised hospitality.

IHG currently operates 51 hotels across six brands in India, including Six Senses, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza, voco Hotels, Holiday Inn Resort and Holiday Inn Express. The company also has a pipeline of 89 hotels expected to open over the next three to five years, reflecting its continued expansion in the country.
