As of early 2026, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) Hotels & Resorts continues to be one of the world's largest hospitality employers, with approximately 385,000 people working across its corporate offices and more than 6,800 global hotel properties. This figure includes a diverse range of roles, from corporate management at their headquarters in Windsor, England, to front-line staff at their 19 brands, which include Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, InterContinental, and Kimpton. The sheer scale of the workforce reflects IHG’s presence in over 100 countries and its continued expansion, with over 2,300 additional hotels currently in the development pipeline. It is important to note that because the majority of IHG properties are operated through franchise or management agreements, many of these employees are technically employed by the individual hotel owners rather than directly by IHG PLC; however, they are all part of the integrated global "team" that upholds the brand's service standards and operational protocols.
