IHG aims to establish 50 hotels in Poland

"Within five years there could be 25-30 hotels established in Poland, over the longer period - 50," announced IHG COO for Benelux countries and CEE, Rob Spikerman. He went on to say that the development would also include the Express by Holiday Inn brand, as there is only one such hotel in Poland. "There are lots of them in Germany. This is a great moment to expand this network in Poland. With this type of brand, the more the hotels the better as the scale of economy is beneficial," added Spikerman. The cost of constructing this network is $60,000 on average per room, without the price of land. The time needed to build a hotel is about six months. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) A.K.
