Holiday Inn Express was founded in the US in 1991. Since then the brand has expanded at a considerable rate, now with over 2000 hotels across the US, Europe and Asia Pacific. A little more forward-thinking than your average budget hotel brand, the company has pioneered such successes as the Express Start breakfast bar in the US - famed as the quickest food and beverage implementation in the hospitality industry. They currently open on average two hotels per week.
