As 2025 draws to a close, IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) Geater China brought together corporate clients and long-standing partners for the 2025 IHG Gala, its annual year-end event held to express sincere appreciation for their continued trust and collaboration. Taking place simultaneously across multiple cities, the celebration blended artistic expression with immersive staging to vividly capture the inspiration, creativity, and memorable moments that shape the travel experience.
Immersing in global inspirations
Centred on the theme “20 global hotel brands, 6,600+ destinations”, the 2025 IHG Gala guided guests through a multi-sensory exploration of travel’s many dimensions. Scenes flowed from the playful rhythm of snowy winter adventures to the refined calm of a day on the greens, from sparks of creativity in business meetings to the relaxing warmth of hot springs and poolside escapes. Rich social interactions, cultural encounters, and flavours from around the world completed a journey designed to inspire the senses and bring IHG’s diverse brand portfolio to life.
