With amenities aimed at both business and leisure travelers, including an Open Lobby and meeting rooms, the hotel will serve as a convenient stop for visitors to Düsseldorf. The partnership between IHG and tristar highlights a shared vision for sustainable growth in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

(PRESS RELEASE) London, UK, 2025-Jan-25 — /Travel PR News/ — IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), a global leader in hospitality, is set to open a new Holiday Inn property in Ratingen, located in the Düsseldorf metropolitan area. This marks another significant step in IHG’s expansion within Germany, in partnership with established hotel operator tristar GmbH. Following a comprehensive renovation, Holiday Inn Ratingen will open in the second half of 2025, extending IHG’s footprint in secondary markets and bringing the signature Holiday Inn experience to a fresh location.

As a conversion of an existing property, the hotel exemplifies the flexibility of the Holiday Inn brand and its ability to adapt to evolving market conditions. Guests will enjoy a variety of amenities designed to cater to both business and leisure travelers. These include a full-service restaurant, the brand’s popular ‘Kids Stay & Eat Free’ program, a bar, and five meeting rooms suitable for both corporate and social events. Additionally, the hotel will feature the brand’s Open Lobby, a stylish and multifunctional space offering guests the freedom to relax, connect, or work in a design-forward environment.

Situated in the charming town of Ratingen, the 134-room hotel is ideally positioned near key local attractions and corporate hubs. Guests will also be just a short drive from Düsseldorf, Germany’s fashion capital, where they can visit iconic locations such as the Königsallee shopping district, the historic Düsseldorf Altstadt, and the Kunstpalast art museum.

Willemijn Geels, Vice President of Development for Europe at IHG Hotels & Resorts, expressed her enthusiasm for the new venture: “We are excited to further strengthen our long-standing partnership with tristar GmbH. The signing of Holiday Inn Ratingen marks our 33rd collaboration, underscoring our commitment to sustainable growth across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The Holiday Inn brand continues to see tremendous global growth potential, particularly as the middle class expands and travelers’ interest in exploring new destinations grows. With our conversion-ready brands, we enable our partners to tap into these trends efficiently.”

Jochen Weishaupt, Managing Director at tristar GmbH, also expressed his excitement about the new project: “Partnering again with IHG to bring the beloved Holiday Inn brand to Ratingen is a thrilling opportunity. Our collaboration with IHG, along with the trust of our landlord LEG, promises a bright future, and we look forward to delivering an exceptional guest experience.”

Kevin Hain, Head of Commercial Property Management at LEG Immobilien SE, echoed this optimism: “IHG’s continued success in Germany solidifies its position as a dominant force in the midscale and upper midscale segments. I’m confident that Holiday Inn Ratingen will meet the needs of both domestic and international travelers seeking convenient and high-quality accommodation in the Düsseldorf area.”

As of the third quarter of 2024, IHG has 220 hotels in operation or in the pipeline across Germany, with more than 140 of these under the Holiday Inn brand family. The German market is also set to welcome IHG’s new midscale brand, Garner, and the opening of Candlewood Suites in the coming months.
