IHG Hotels & Resorts and Iwate Hotel & Resort have signed an agreement to open or refurbish three hotels in Japan’s Appi region and convert them to IHG brands in December 2021.
The three resorts are: ANA Crowne Plaza Resort Appi Kogen, ANA Holiday Inn Resort Appi Kogen, and ANA InterContinental Appi Kogen Resort, which will be the first international luxury hotel in Japan’s Tohoku region.

The trio combined will add more than 1,000 rooms to IHG’s Japan portfolio, which marks the biggest conversion deal IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed in Japan since it formed its joint venture with ANA in 2006. It is also the first time IHG will have three brands located on one site.
