IHG Just Planted Two Flags Six Blocks Apart in Midtown. Let's Talk About What That Actually Means.

IHG opened a 419-key voco in Times Square and a 529-key Kimpton six blocks away within three weeks of each other. That's not expansion. That's a bet... and if you're running a competing property in Midtown Manhattan, the math on your comp set just changed.

IHG Just Opened Two Premium Hotels in Midtown Three Weeks Apart. That's Not Expansion. That's a Bet.

IHG dropped a 419-key voco and a 529-key Kimpton within fifteen blocks and fifteen days of each other in Manhattan. The brand story sounds great. The owner math is where it gets interesting.
