Delaware North continues relationship with IHG Hotels & Resorts with hotel near Rocky Mountain National Park
ESTES PARK, Colo, and BUFFALO, N.Y. (March 20, 2024) – The Ridgeline Hotel Estes Park in Colorado has completed its transition to the newly named Holiday Inn Estes Park and will continue providing exceptional hospitality as part of the IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) family of brands.
Global hospitality and entertainment company Delaware North, which owns and operates the hotel, is excited to extend the relationship between its Parks and Resorts division and IHG. The transition was completed in late February.
IHG is a globally recognized leader in hospitality, known for its diverse portfolio of brands taking care of every type of traveler. In aligning with IHG, Delaware North aims to elevate each guest’s stay at Holiday Inn Estes Park by offering enhanced benefits and privileges, including access to IHG’s best-in-class loyalty program, IHG One Rewards.
The 147-room, recently remodeled hotel is perfectly situated in the charming mountain town of Estes Park, less than 5 miles from the main entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park and just under an hour from Boulder, Colorado and 90 minutes from Denver.
Holiday Inn Estes Park is now the second IHG hotel under the operation of Delaware North Parks and Resorts. Delaware North has owned the Holiday Inn West Yellowstone since 2009.
“Delaware North is thrilled to be working with IHG Hotels & Resorts on the Holiday Inn Estes Park in another hugely popular national park gateway community,” said Scott Socha, Delaware North’s group president of its Parks and Resorts division. “We have made significant investments in the hotel since acquiring it in 2017, including recent renovations, and look forward to the Holiday Inn brand attracting even more travelers to discover what a perfect hub it is for enjoying Estes Park and exploring Rocky Mountain National Park.”
Holiday Inn Estes Park will continue to offer guests their favorite amenities such as outdoor firepits with s’mores kits, a fitness center, game lounge and indoor pool. The onsite restaurant, Latitude 105 Alehouse, provides a welcoming mountain ambiance for family and friends to fuel up with complimentary breakfast. Now, as an IHG hotel, kids ages 11 and under can eat for free. In the evening, guests can enjoy Rocky Mountain-inspired cuisine and sip on local craft beer or signature cocktails.
The hotel offers the ideal basecamp for year-round adventure in Rocky Mountain National Park and convenient access to the leisure of Estes Park. Just minutes from the hotel, Downtown Estes Park is a haven of boutique shopping, wineries and breweries, art galleries and restaurants. Delaware North also operates Trendz at the Park, a boutique shop with a fresh and eclectic array of gifts and home décor.
Holiday Inn Estes Park is the newest addition to the Delaware North Parks and Resorts portfolio which owns and operates hotels, luxury cabins and other lodging experiences, primarily in and near national and state parks and cultural attractions. The portfolio includes nearly 25 lodging locations throughout the United States, Australia and New Zealand, representing more than 3,000 lodging units. In addition to lodging, the company also operates food, beverage and retail services, recreational activities and educational programming at several of the locations.
