Change is happening

We're thrilled to be involved in the a major relaunch of the Holiday Inn brand, and you'll spot changes at our hotels in coming months. The biggest change is the name - Express by Holiday Inn will become Holiday Inn Express - and new logos and signage will indicate the change.

There’s much more to the rebrand than simply replacing the signs and changing the logo however. Over two years more than 18,000 people took part in research to find out exactly what matters most to our guests. We discovered that 90% of what’s important to guests is a modern, clean, safe property with efficient, friendly service that affords a great night’s sleep. To put it simply, you told us what you want and we listened. By the end of March 2010 all of Somerston's Express hotels will bear the new Holiday Inn Express insignia and you'll be able to enjoy:

  • Re-designed logo and signage
  • New outdoor lighting,landscaping and design features
  • Stylish touches in the lobby
  • Friendly, efficient check-in
  • Service that recognizes your needs
  • Crisp white bed linens and “firm” or “soft” pillow selection
  • Refreshing showers with powerfulshowerheads, new curved shower railsand signature bath products
