In essence, voco™ Hotels is designed to stand out from the crowd.

As one of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ newest hotel brands, voco™ Hotels gives people a different choice: hotels to count on, but different enough to be fun.

Along with bespoke hospitality, guests can expect a socially vibrant stay that’s great for them and the planet.

BTN: What can we expect from the brand as we head into 2022?

WY: voco™ Hotels brand has reached 64 signed and open hotels in more than 25 countries across the globe, marking IHG’s fastest ever global expansion.

We want to keep this momentum going, with the ambition to deliver over 200 hotels in the next ten years.
