THE “EXPRESS” BRAND

Holiday Inn Express, as a relatively young company, has surpassed many of their competitors to become one of the leading limited service hotel chains. Much of this success is due, in part, to strong marketing and brand management, which has developed a widely recognizable and influential product among consumers. To ensure consistency amongst the brand, each Holiday Inn Express is built around five core brand hallmarks: •Express Start Breakfast Bar •Simply Smart Guest Bathroom •Smart Roast Coffee •Smart Connection Telecommunications •Priority Club Rewards

In 2005, Holiday Inn Express sought to enhance the guest bath experience by adding elegant Kohler showerheads.

In 2008, Holiday Inn Express debuted their new breakfast hot bar featuring bacon, cheese omelets, and a signature cinnamon roll.
