Sunday, August 25, 2024 InterContinental Hotels Group Army Hotels celebrates 15 years of exceptional service, blending historic charm with modern upgrades across military posts. Almost twenty years ago, the U.S.
Army initiated the Privatization of Army Lodging (PAL) program, aimed at enhancing and sustaining the quality of temporary housing on military bases. In 2009, IHG Hotels became the sole hospitality partner for the Army, with a focus on crafting superior lodging experiences specifically designed for military personnel, their families, and other guests. Now, after fifteen years, IHG Army Hotels remains the only operator of hospitality services on 40 military sites across the U.

These facilities incorporate the familiar and respected brands of Holiday Inn Express, Candlewood Suites, and Staybridge Suites, providing the comforts and services typically found in civilian hotels, including free hot breakfasts, complimentary laundry services, social barbecues each week, and access to fitness and business centers.
As IHG Army Hotels marks this significant anniversary, it takes pride in its ongoing commitment to delivering True Hospitality for Good, catering to the needs of America’s military heroes, their families, and civilian guests while looking forward to continuing this legacy.
