InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG.L) will open up to three of its new Hualuxe hotels in China in 2015, the first of a Chinese-specific brand it hopes to eventually roll out globally.
IHG, one of the world's largest hoteliers with brands such as Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza and InterContinental, said the first Hualuxe hotel will open within weeks and has identified over 100 Chinese cities for sites in the next 15-20 years.
