IHG Announces the Opening of the Holiday Inn Express® & Suites Tremblant in Quebec

Hotel in Tremblant Pedestrian Village in Close Proximity to Numerous Ski Slopes

December 24, 2014 // Franchising.com // MONT-TREMBLANT, QC. – InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), one of the world's leading hotel companies, announces the opening of a new Holiday Inn Express® & Suites hotel in Tremblant just in time for the 2015 winter ski season. Recently undergoing a $3.2 million investment by the ownership, this property is located in the heart of the Tremblant Pedestrian Village, conveniently accessible to numerous ski lifts, restaurants and shops. With the opening of the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tremblant hotel, IHG has 14 hotels in Quebec Province with two more properties in the pipeline.

Those looking to enjoy the outdoors will be pleased with the wide range of activities offered year-round in Mont-Tremblant. Located nearby is the Mont-Tremblant Activity Centre, which offers everything from winter sleigh rides and snowmobiling to rock climbing and white water rafting in the summer. Golfers can enjoy the hotel's close proximity to world class golf courses such as Le Diable and Le Géant. The Casino de Mont-Tremblant is a gondola ride away and can even be reached on skis in the winter. In the summer, guests can enjoy Ziptrek Ecotours – a ziplining experience with five ziplines, comprised of nearly four kilometers of suspended descent.

The Tremblant Village was recently named among the top 25 ski towns in the world by National Geographic. Unparalleled views of the Laurentian Mountains and the diversity of the region's four seasons have enabled it to play host to highly acclaimed major events such as the IRONMAN Mont-Tremblant, the Tremblant 24h of Skiing, The Wanderlust Wellness Festival as well as the Tremblant International Blues Festival.

Only a 90-minute drive from Montreal, the four-story, 141-room hotel includes a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, outdoor whirlpool bath (open year round), fitness room, sauna and complimentary high-speed Internet access. Business travellers can take advantage of the Tremblant Convention Centre in the heart of the pedestrian village, located only 100 meters away from the hotel.

"IHG has a strong Holiday Inn Express portfolio in Canada, with nearly 90 hotels open and another 18 in the pipeline," said Heather Balsley, senior vice president, Americas Core Brands & Brand Operations, IHG.
