The IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Brand Collection is an exclusive collection of hotels and resorts that exude the romance and grandeur of a bygone era. From regal palaces to elegant townhouses, every resort and hotel in the IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Brand Collection is handpicked for its rich heritage, timeless charm, and lavish amenities. Here are a few of our favorites.
Berlin, Germany

Berlin embodies striking contrasts, where the past and the present blissfully coexist. This dichotomy is perhaps best displayed at the Regent Berlin. Nestled amidst 18th-century cathedrals and just a stone’s throw from the Konzerthaus, the hotel is a time capsule filled with the opulence of gilt furniture, marble floors, tasseled settees, and crystal chandeliers. A place of refined comfort and impeccable service, the Regent Berlin has earned a reputation for mixing timeless elegance with modern comforts.
Sydney, Australia

Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Sydney is home to iconic architectural landmarks like the Harbor Bridge, Sydney Opera House, and the InterContinental Sydney hotel — the ideal home base for those who want to immerse themselves in the pulse of the city. Located steps from the Circular Quay, guests will find selfie-worthy backdrops from nearly any room. Set within the restored Treasury Building of 1851, the InterContinental Sydney is where heritage and contemporary collide. Here you’ll find the Southern Hemisphere’s oldest working lift to a hidden underground vault alongside elegantly appointed guest rooms worthy of their 5-star status.
Rome, Italy

The Eternal City is filled with contradictions – ancient landmarks provide a backdrop to modern comforts and diverse cultures. Here, divine symbolism harmoniously coexists, and masterpieces can be centuries-old frescoes or made-from-scratch gelato. The Six Senses Rome puts you right in the center of it all. Located on Piazza di San Marcello, the hotel is just steps from the Trevi Fountain and Pantheon, while couture shopping districts are an easy stroll away. Old-world charm meets new-world luxury at this urban oasis. The original 15th-century building cleverly integrates the existing architecture of Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini, while inside natural light, contemporary finishes, and uniquely commissioned artwork fill the space.
