The project included a complete upgrade of the exterior and substantial improvements to the interior, all guided by the company’s “Our Big Green” mission: conserve resources; reduce waste and recycle; and continue the commitment by learning about new green-based options applicable to the hotel and acting upon them as soon as possible.
“The Holiday Inn Gaithersburg further demonstrated its commitment to enhancing the guest experience with the renovation of its property last year, even during challenging economic times,” said Jim Abrahamson, president, the Americas, IHG.
The hotel was recognized during the 2009 IHG Americas Investors & Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., November 11-13, 2009.
