Holiday Inn
Familiar green sign
Holiday Inn is a chain of hotels founded in 1952, known for providing standardized, affordable accommodations for travelers.
The brand became synonymous with reliable roadside lodging during the American highway expansion era, offering consistent amenities across locations.
We stopped at a Holiday Inn for the night.
The name has become somewhat generic shorthand for mid-range chain hotels, though it remains a trademarked brand now owned by InterContinental Hotels Group.
