Holiday Inn Select was IHG's midscale brand focused on reliable rooms, business-friendly meeting spaces, and targeted discounts for seniors, government/military travelers and groups. IHG's portfolio includes many other brands; properties initially labeled Holiday Inn Select have often been renovated or rebranded, so verify the current brand and offers on IHG's website or by contacting the hotel.

Holiday Inn Select and the IHG family

Holiday Inn Select has been part of the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) family of brands. IHG's portfolio spans everything from full-service luxury to limited-service economy properties, and includes brands such as InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites, Candlewood Suites, Hotel Indigo, Kimpton, voco, EVEN, and Avid Hotels.

What Holiday Inn Select stood for

Holiday Inn Select was positioned as a comfortable, midscale hotel offering consistent rooms, business-friendly meeting spaces, and value-driven packages. Properties emphasized reliable service, on-site meeting rooms or business centers, and amenities aimed at both business travelers and families.

Booking, rates and loyalty

IHG sells rooms directly through its website and mobile app, and its loyalty program (IHG One Rewards) covers bookings across IHG brands. The company has offered online best-rate promises in the past to encourage direct bookings; check current IHG terms for today's exact guarantee and promotional rules.

Common offers and traveler benefits

Holiday Inn Select properties historically participated in targeted discounts and packages for specific traveler groups. Typical offers included:
  • Senior discounts (for example, AARP or other senior programs) 1
  • Vacation or family packages that combine room offers with local attractions or partner travel services
  • Government and military rates for eligible travelers
  • Meeting and group packages with flexible meeting spaces and catering options
Individual properties set most discounts and package details, so availability varies by hotel and market.

Meetings and group stays

Many Holiday Inn Select hotels (and Holiday Inn properties more broadly) catered to meetings and small events, with flexible meeting rooms, on-site audio-visual options, and group catering. For larger corporate events, IHG's Crowne Plaza and full-service brands often provide expanded conference facilities.

Where you'll find them

Holiday Inn Select locations historically appeared across the United States and in parts of Canada, Mexico and Latin America. Over time, hotels have been rebranded, renovated, or integrated into other Holiday Inn sub-brands; check each hotel's listing for its current brand name and amenities. 2
