InterContinental has announced the signing of the Holiday Inn Express Asuncion Aviadores hotel, the first Holiday Inn Express hotel in Paraguay. The new-build 120-room hotel will be centrally located in Paraguay’s capital city of Asuncion, and joins IHG’s Crowne Plaza Asuncion hotel, already open in Paraguay.
Jorge Apaez, Chief Operating Officer, Mexico, Latin America and Caribbean, IHG said: “IHG is pleased to introduce the Holiday Inn Express brand to Paraguay with the signing of this new property in Asuncion.
