InterContinental has announced ambitious plans to open 100 hotels in Russia by 2020, an expansion of almost ten times the number operating there today. Opening sooner will be luxury brand InterContinental’s first Russian hotel, the InterContinental Moscow Tverskaya, which is scheduled to open in November this year and will offer 203 decadent rooms on the city’s most famous shopping street.
InterContinental’s Angela Brav said that the firm was responding to a need for more internationally-branded hotels.
“We want to help bring people from around Russia and the rest of the world to experience the country’s rich cultural heritage and natural wonders, from Red Square and the Kremlin in Moscow to the stunning Lake Baikal in Siberia,” she said.
