IHG Hotels & Resorts a global leader in the hospitality industry, is set to strengthen its footprint in Germany with the signing of Holiday Inn Ratingen, situated near Düsseldorf. This collaboration with multi-hotel operator tristar GmbH will transform an existing property into a fully renovated Holiday Inn, slated to welcome guests in the latter half of 2025. This addition underscores IHG’s commitment to expanding its presence in Germany’s secondary markets, offering the hallmark warmth and reliability of the Holiday Inn experience in a fresh destination.

Once open, the hotel will cater to both leisure and business travelers with a range of thoughtfully designed amenities. Guests can enjoy a full-service restaurant featuring the beloved ‘Kids Stay & Eat Free’ program, a vibrant bar, and five meeting spaces perfect for social and corporate events. The hotel will also introduce the signature Open Lobby concept, a versatile and stylish area that allows visitors to seamlessly work, connect, or unwind.

Nestled in the charming town of Ratingen, the 134-room property offers easy access to nearby attractions and business hubs. Just a short drive from Düsseldorf, Germany’s fashion and cultural hub, guests can explore iconic spots such as the prestigious Königsallee shopping street, the historic Altstadt (Old Town), and the Kunstpalast art museum.

Willemijn Geels, Vice President, Development, Europe, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with tristar GmbH – one of our longest-standing and valued partners in Northern Europe. The signing of Holiday Inn Ratingen marks our 33^rd hotel together and is testament to our shared vision of sustainable growth across Germany, Austria and Switzerland for both domestic and international travellers.

The Holiday Inn family brand presents enormous global growth potential as we continue to see the expansion of the middle class and a renewed excitement to travel once again. With all IHG brands, including Holiday Inn, being conversion-ready, we can help our partners capitalise on this growing class, by enabling them to quickly benefit from IHG’s powerful technology and revenue systems, operational expertise and loyalty offer.”

Jochen Weishaupt, Managing Director at tristar GmbH, said: “We are excited to partner once again with IHG Hotels & Resorts, to bring one of the most recognised and much-loved hotel brands to a new location in Germany. My special thanks go to our landlord, LEG, and their trust in our company. We look forward to a promising future together and to offering our guests a unique hotel experience very soon.”

Kevin Hain, Head of Commercial Property Management, LEG Immobilien SE, said: “Thanks to IHG’s exponential growth in Germany, it is well on its way to becoming a leading player in the midscale and upper midscale segments in the country. I would especially like to thank our new business partner tristar GmbH and look forward to a trusting and successful collaboration. I am confident that Holiday Inn Ratingen will be well received by both domestic and international travellers looking for comfortable, convenient accommodation in the wider Dusseldorf area.”
