What is the first luxury travel brand of IHG?

IHG has long pioneered world travel and the way people connect, from the world's first and largest luxury hotel brand, InterContinental, to the iconic Holiday Inn.



The first luxury brand of InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) is InterContinental Hotels & Resorts. Founded in 1946 by Juan Trippe, the founder of Pan American Airways (Pan Am), the brand was created to provide luxury accommodations for international travelers and flight crews in the pioneering days of global aviation. Its first hotel opened in Belém, Brazil. InterContinental is officially recognized as the world's first international luxury hotel brand, pre-dating many of its modern rivals. For decades, it served as the flagship for IHG’s upscale offerings before the group expanded its luxury portfolio to include other major names like Regent Hotels & Resorts, Six Senses, and Vignette Collection. Even in 2026, the InterContinental brand remains the cornerstone of IHG's luxury identity, with iconic properties in nearly every major global capital, ranging from historic palaces to cutting-edge modern skyscrapers. It is distinguished by its "Concierge" program and its legacy of hosting heads of state and world leaders, maintaining a reputation for "worldly" and sophisticated hospitality.
