IHG Hotels & Resorts signs dual‑branded property in London, U.K.

The properties mark a significant milestone for IHG as it expands its footprint.

Expected to open last quarter 2028, the 182-room voco London – Waterloo will join IHG's fastest growing premium brand.

Alongside the new voco hotel, will be the first Hotel Indigo & Suites property in Europe. Expected to also open in the last quarter 2028 and feature 172 guest rooms and suites, Hotel Indigo & Suites London - Waterloo will join IHG’s fast-growing luxury and lifestyle collection, now the second largest in the world.

Located in London’s vibrant Waterloo area, guests will be just steps away from some of the city’s most iconic attractions, including The Southbank, home to the Royal Festival Hall, London Eye, London Aquarium, and the National Theatre.

“Our dual-branded property, voco London – Waterloo and Hotel Indigo & Suites London – Waterloo will mark a significant milestone in IHG’s growth across the UK and Ireland as it unites two of our celebrated brands and introduces an exciting new offering to Europe with Hotel Indigo & Suites.

"We are thrilled to be strengthening our partnership with Palm Holdings through the development of this remarkable dual-branded property. Their continued trust in IHG and our diverse portfolio of brands— with the imminent opening of Garner Hotel Haymarket Edinburgh—speaks volumes about the strength of our relationship. This collaboration underscores our shared commitment to delivering distinctive, high-quality hospitality experiences that resonate with today’s travellers.

"As we continue to grow IHG’s footprint across the UK and Ireland—with 363 hotels currently open and 33 more in the pipeline—we look forward to welcoming guests to both properties. We’re confident that our collaboration will deliver outstanding hospitality and create memorable experiences for every guest,” states Willemijn Geels, vice president, development, Europe, IHG Hotels & Resorts.

voco London – Waterloo will become the latest addition to the growing portfolio of 16 existing voco hotels, which includes the newly launched voco Zeal Exeter Science Park, voco London Marylebone, and voco Winchester Hotel & Spa. Meanwhile, Hotel Indigo & Suites London – Waterloo will bolster IHG’s portfolio of 19 open Hotel Indigo properties, with exciting upcoming openings including Hotel Indigo London – Clerkenwell and Hotel Indigo Leeds in the coming months.
