IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) is holding a week of celebrations to say ‘thanks’ to the teams across their 4,400 hotels, offices and reservation centres around the world.
‘Celebrate Service Week’ – an initiative launched by IHG in partnership with its Owners’ Association, the IAHI — is designed to give back to the “people who work tirelessly every day for their guests”.
It will run from July 26 to 30 and is dedicated to celebrating the 330,000 people, from accountants to chefs and housekeeping to HR, who work across its hotels and offices.

‘Celebrate Service Week’ will feature everything from barbeques and pool parties to grand prize draw giveaways including tickets to the London 2012 opening ceremony.
Andy Cosslett, chief executive IHG, commented: “Our people are what sets us apart from our competitors, they’re the reason our guests come back and they are what makes our brands market leading. Celebrate Service Week gives us a chance to do one of the simplest, most effective things we can to show our appreciation – say ‘thank you’, but in a way only the world’s biggest hotel company can.”
Mark Carrier, Chairman of the IAHI, the Owners’ Association, said: “The IAHI, our hotel owners and IHG have come together to dedicate a week to thanking our people and letting them know how important they are to the success of our businesses. It’s their hard work and professionalism that makes our hotels places that guests want to return to again and again.”
