IHG Hotels & Resorts has launched its Summer Soiree series, running from June 1 to September 2, across its luxury and lifestyle hotels in the Americas. This new experiential series aims to provide guests with immersive summer experiences through seasonal menus, music, decor, and bespoke events at InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, Vignette Collection, and Hotel Indigo properties.
The Summer Soiree will transport guests to a dreamy escape, evoking the warmth of summer days and nights with lavish decor featuring hyperreal botanicals and greenery, a curated playlist, and expertly crafted culinary and cocktail offerings. Kathleen Reidenbach, Senior Vice President, Marketing & Commercial, Luxury & Lifestyle Americas at IHG, stated, “This summer, we are embracing the vibe and essence of the season to bring our vision of a summer oasis to life in our lobbies and beyond, inviting travelers to immerse in the unforgettable feelings of the season.”
In collaboration with the Barcelona-based atelier Wanda Barcelona, IHG is introducing floral pop-ups at six hotels across North America, including InterContinental The Willard Washington DC, InterContinental Presidente Mexico City, Kimpton EPIC Hotel in Miami, Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel, Yours Truly DC, and Hotel Indigo Atlanta Downtown. These installations will feature interactive lobby bars, botanical cocktails, and seasonal plates crafted by in-house chefs.
For larger group gatherings, Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia and InterContinental San Francisco will offer floral decor and furnishings inspired by Wanda Barcelona, enhancing meetings and events with vinyl listening stations, interactive art, pop-up beverage carts, and curated catering menus.
