Holiday Inn opens in Brooklyn

The new-build 245-room Holiday Inn Brooklyn Downtown hotel opens on Schermerhorn Street, near the famed Barclays Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music and Metro Tech Center, and adjacent to InterContinental Hotel Group’s EVEN Hotel Brooklyn, which is expected to open later this year.
Eric Lent, Vice President, Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza, The Americas, IHG said: “Over 60 years ago, Kemmons Wilson created the Holiday Inn brand and changed the definition of what a hotel should be, and since then the brand has continued to grow and change with the needs of travellers.
“This new property in the heart of busy Downtown Brooklyn is a prime example of the brand’s evolution, offering contemporary design and amenities, while still delivering on that special kind of hospitality that millions of travellers all over the world have come to expect from the Holiday Inn brand.”
