About Holiday Inn Express
Holiday Inn Express is one of the world’s most recognized and widely distributed mid-scale hotel brands, offering smart, modern lodging for business and leisure travelers who want the essentials done exceptionally well — without paying for amenities they don’t need. A brand within the IHG Hotels & Resorts portfolio, Holiday Inn Express was founded in 1991 as a more streamlined, affordable offshoot of the original Holiday Inn brand, emphasizing clean rooms, free hot breakfast, reliable Wi-Fi, and consistent value at every location. As of fiscal year 2025, Holiday Inn Express operates 3,300 hotels worldwide — making it IHG’s largest brand by property count — after opening 95 new hotels in 2025 alone, with the strongest level of signings in six years, approximately 170 hotels, adding 655 properties to its pipeline. The brand is owned and managed as part of IHG Hotels & Resorts — one of the world’s largest hotel companies, traded on the London Stock Exchange (ticker: IHG) and on the New York Stock Exchange as an ADR (ticker: IHG) — and led by Group CEO Elie Maalouf, who reported a 7% revenue growth in H2 2025 and record hotel openings of 443 across the entire IHG group in 2025. Holiday Inn Express’s corporate office is located at 3 Ravinia Drive, Suite 100 in Atlanta, Georgia, which serves as the Americas headquarters for IHG Hotels & Resorts.

How to File a Complaint Against Holiday Inn Express
Step 1 — Speak With the Front Desk or Hotel Manager On-Site
The most effective first step for any in-stay complaint is to address it directly with the Front Desk or the General Manager at the Holiday Inn Express property where your issue occurred. Hotel General Managers are fully empowered to resolve most issues on the spot — including room changes, bill adjustments, and service recovery gestures — without requiring any corporate involvement. Resolving the issue during your stay is always the fastest and most effective path.
Step 2 — Call IHG Guest Care
If your complaint was not resolved at the property level, call IHG Guest Care at 1-800-621-0555 after your stay. Have your reservation confirmation number, hotel name, check-in and check-out dates, and a detailed description of your complaint ready. Ask the representative to formally log your concern and provide a case reference number. Guest Care representatives have the authority to issue IHG One Rewards points compensation, request billing adjustments, and escalate unresolved complaints to corporate.
Step 3 — Submit an Online Complaint Form
Log in to your IHG One Rewards account at ihg.com and submit a formal complaint through the Guest Care Contact Form, selecting “Hotel complaint” as your inquiry type. Include your reservation details, a full description of the issue, and any supporting photos or documents. Written responses typically arrive within 2 to 3 business days.
Step 4 — Contact the Corporate Office
If your complaint remains unresolved after contacting Guest Care, call the IHG Americas corporate headquarters at (770) 604-2000 or write a formal complaint letter to IHG Hotels & Resorts, 3 Ravinia Drive, Suite 100, Atlanta, Georgia 30346, Attn: Guest Relations. Include all previous resolution attempts, case reference numbers, and supporting documentation.
Step 5 — Escalate to the IHG Global Corporate Headquarters
For serious unresolved complaints, write to IHG’s global corporate office at Windsor Dials, 1 Arthur Road, Windsor, Berkshire SL4 1RS, United Kingdom, Attn: Guest Relations. This is particularly effective for complaints involving safety and security failures, legal matters, or significant financial disputes.
Step 6 — File a BBB Complaint
File a public complaint with the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org. Holiday Inn Express is registered with the BBB in Atlanta, Georgia and a public complaint filing typically prompts a faster corporate response within 14 days.
Step 7 — Contact Your State Health or Consumer Protection Department
If your complaint involves hygiene standards, pest infestations, or unsafe room conditions at a Holiday Inn Express, contact your state’s Department of Health or local county health department. State and county health inspectors can conduct unannounced inspections of hotel properties and issue mandated remediation orders
