Because we believe that when you respect individuality life gets interesting.
Part of the IHG® family, you can rely on a uniquely voco™ experience every stay, but with some of the extra advantages that come with being part of IHG.

So you can relax knowing that everything from your super comfy bed to the ingredients on our menu is designed to reduce our environmental impact.
