Hotel group set to open Holiday Inn Wall Street

There will be a new accommodation option for both business and leisure visitors to New York this year when InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) opens the Holiday Inn Wall Street.

Set to begin welcoming guests in April, the hotel will be IHG's only full-service property in the financial district.

It is located opposite the Federal Reserve Bank and close to sites and attractions such as the New York Stock Exchange, Battery Park and the ferry to the Statue of Liberty.

Guests will have access to amenities including free wireless internet access and a 32-inch television, as well as a 24-hour fitness centre and a full-service restaurant.

Jim Anhut, IHG's chief development officer for the Americas, said: "Despite the current economic market, we've opened four IHG properties in New York City in the past year, and this Holiday Inn Wall Street is additional proof of the strength of our brands and the commitment of our owners and franchisees."

The hotel company is currently carrying out a $1 billion (£619 million) global relaunch of its Holiday Inn brand, which has seen more than 3,300 properties updated around the world.
