IHG Opens Holiday Inn Express Near Atlanta Airport

IHG has opened a Holiday Inn Express near the world’s busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL).

Here’s what you need to know.

The Ultimate Convenience to the World’s Busiest Airport

Holiday Inn Express Atlanta Airport – North has over 200 guest rooms, all boasting multi-functional seating and storage.

True to the Holiday Inn Express brand, the new property isn’t luxurious by any means, but it’s functional for travelers arriving in or transiting through Atlanta (ATL), the world’s busiest airport.

The hotel will cater to travelers on the go by offering an “express breakfast.” Rooms will include a microwave, minifridge, television, coffee, and tea. Additionally, the Holiday Inn Express will have nearly 3,000 square feet of meeting space, a fitness center, and an outdoor pool.

For travelers looking to be near the airport, this hotel is just a 7-minute drive to the main terminal at ATL.

“As the leisure travel boom shows no signs of slowing, along with increasing business and group travel, we recognize the opportunities of growing our presence near the world’s busiest airport and offering broader choice to Atlanta visitors,” said Kevin Schramm, Senior Vice President of Development, Mainstream – U.S. and Canada at IHG Hotels & Resorts.

This comes amid a significant expansion for the Holiday Inn Express brand. Just this year, IHG has opened Holiday Inn Express properties in Dallas, Guadalajara, and Glendale, CA, in addition to the nearby Holiday Inn Express Atlanta Airport-College Park. Additionally, the brand has more than 300 hotels in its U.S. pipeline.

How To Book Holiday Inn Express Atlanta Airport – North
