Inn Express (Express by Holiday Inn outside North America) is
Intercontinental Hotels chain of mid-priced hotels. Many lack a
restaurant and lounge but most have an indoor swimming pool and hot tub.
Hotels offer a complimentary continental breakfast (the cinnamon rolls
served are a proprietary recipe), and offer a complimentary pack of
toiletries; some being staples such as shampoo, but other items include
mouthwash, lotion, and grooming items.
In the mid-2000s, Holiday Inn Express began producing humorous
television commercials consisting of someone doing something they were
not capable of doing, but then stating that they were actually capable
due to the fact that they "stayed at a Holiday Inn (Express) last
night".
InterContinental Hotels Group, the parent chain of Holiday Inn
Express, has blended this slogan with the Internet, opening a "Smart
Store" on their website allowing customers to buy showerheads, towels,
toiletries, and cinnamon rolls identical to those featured at the
hotels. Holiday Inn Express is one of the few hotel chains to sell their
merchandise to the general public.
There are over 1,500 Holiday Inn Express hotels worldwide.
Holiday Inn Express is usually considered a separate brand from Holiday
Inn. |
