IHG Hotels & Resorts is set to elevate summer experiences with the launch of Summer Soiree, an enchanting seasonal series spanning its luxury and lifestyle hotels in the Americas. Running from June 1 to September 2, this series of evocative experiences promises a fusion of fun, luxury and vibrant ambiances across select InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, Vignette Collection and Hotel Indigo properties.

"Our IHG luxury and lifestyle hotels are known for their inspired and experiential programming that brings people together," said Kathleen Reidenbach, Senior Vice President, Marketing & Commercial, Luxury & Lifestyle Americas at IHG Hotels & Resorts. "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."

Summer Soiree will immerse guests in the spirit of summer nights, with multi-sensory experiences, opulent decor featuring hyperreal botanicals and greenery, and a specially curated IHG Summer Soiree playlist. Additionally, guests can indulge in expertly crafted culinary delights and artisanal cocktails that capture the flavors of the season.

Summer Soiree Pop-Ups


To kick off the event, IHG has collaborated with Barcelona-based atelier Wanda Barcelona to introduce stunning floral pop-ups at select hotels across North America. These larger-than-life installations will offer guests a unique garden-inspired experience, complete with botanical cocktails, zero-proof elixirs, and delectable plates highlighting fresh seasonal ingredients. Participating properties include the InterContinental The Willard Washington DC, InterContinental Presidente Mexico City, Kimpton EPIC Hotel in Miami, Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel, Yours Truly DC, Vignette Collection and Hotel Indigo Atlanta Downtown.

For larger gatherings, Summer Soiree extends to meetings and events spaces at Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia and InterContinental San Francisco, where guests can enjoy plush furnishings and fabulous floral decor inspired by Wanda Barcelona, alongside interactive art, vinyl listening stations, pop-up beverage carts and curated catering menus.
