ATLANTA, 2015-1-7 — /Travel PR News/ — InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, today announced the opening of the Holiday Inn Express® Snowmass Village hotel. As the newest addition to IHG hotels in Colorado, this four story hotel features 145 guest rooms and six suites. Situated at the base of Snowmass Mountain, it is only a two minute walk from the hotel to ski lift access.
