InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has appointed Janis Cannon as vice president, global brand management, Hotel Indigo.

The newly created role has been established to drive global strategy for the boutique brand.

In this newly created role, Cannon will lead a global team responsible for strategy, innovation, distribution, and rooms and revenue growth.

Cannon most recently served as vice president, brand management, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts for the Americas region.

“Given the current economic challenges, the Hotel Indigo brand has a significant opportunity for global expansion as developers and travellers alike continue to seek value over excess without sacrificing service or style,” said Cannon, adding that she intends to “strengthen the brand’s portfolio and expose the brand to new guests who are looking for a sensible boutique hotel”.

Launched in 2004, there are currently 24 Hotel Indigo properties open with more than 60 hotels under development, either in the pipeline or in final negotiation.

Contributing to its global footprint, IHG will open Hotel Indigo properties in San Jose, Costa Rica (2008), Shanghai (2010) and three additional properties in London (2012). In North America, properties are scheduled to open in Baltimore, Miami, New York City, San Diego, St. Louis, and Toronto.
