IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed three properties across its global luxury and lifestyle portfolio in Turks & Caicos for InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants and Hotel Indigo. Developed in partnership with owner Molo Hotel Group and UK-based management group Lighthouse Hotel Management, both Slominski family-owned companies, the resorts will mark IHG’s debut on the Caribbean island and are all set to open by 2027.
Set on Turks & Caicos’ Grace Bay, the properties will be brought to life by Glasgow-based architecture and interior design studio Ica, working in partnership with Turks & Caicos-based Conservative Architecture and Miami-based landscape architecture firm EDSA. Visitors and locals alike will be presented with three distinct island respites:
InterContinental Turks & Caicos: With a beachfront location, the new-build InterContinental Turks & Caicos will be seven stories. The all-suite property will consist of 59 retreats with panoramic ocean vistas. A ground-floor restaurant and bar, outdoor pool, on-site fitness center and signature Club InterContinental lounge will encourage guests to relax and rejuvenate at their desired pace.
Kimpton Turks & Caicos: The 192-room new-build Kimpton Turks & Caicos will offer a sense of retreat at every step. In addition to its shoreline setting, the boutique luxury property will feature three outdoor pools as well as a spa and fitness center. Seven dining options will include a beachfront restaurant, rooftop bar, poolside bars, ice cream and coffee parlor, juice bar as well as a ground-floor restaurant and lobby bar. Morning coffee and tea, evening social hour, “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” amenity program, in-room yoga mats, complimentary bicycles and pet-friendly policies will further elevate guests’ stays.
Hotel Indigo Turks & Caicos: Steps away from the InterContinental and Kimpton resorts, Hotel Indigo Turks & Caicos will bring to life the Hotel Indigo brand’s ethos as The World’s Neighborhood Hotel. The resort, which emulates the laid-back vibe of its surrounding neighborhood—from the design and décor to the dishes served on property—will invite guests to discover something new that only Turks & Caicos can offer. The 56-room resort will be spread over one new building as well as two existing structures that will undergo a complete transformation. Guests can mingle among the locals at the on-site restaurant, lobby bar or coffee shop, while an outdoor pool and fitness room will be available exclusively for those staying on-property.
“As we expand IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle presence across the Americas, we’re doing so with thoughtful intention,” Paul Adan, regional SVP of development, Mexico, Latin America and the Caribbean for IHG Hotels & Resorts, said in a statement. “Turks & Caicos is one of the Caribbean’s most spectacular destinations, and we’re excited to mark the company’s much-anticipated debut there with our InterContinental, Kimpton and Hotel Indigo brands. These stunning havens will welcome visitors and locals alike with unique, yet complementary experiences. We also are especially thrilled to expand our partnership with Molo Hotel Group.”
These openings represent an exciting expansion of Molo Hotel Group and Lighthouse Hotel Management’s IHG portfolio. Molo Hotel Group, privately owned by the Slominski family, was formed in 2017 as a developer and owner-operator. The group has seven hotels in operation, with a further five under construction.
“Our excitement goes beyond the elegant architecture and luxurious amenities. It is about becoming an integral part of Turks & Caicos, weaving our story into the fabric of this beautiful destination, and contributing positively to its economic and cultural tapestry. We aim to be a catalyst for economic growth, job creation and meaningful partnerships with Turks & Caicos,” said Lighthouse Hotel Management Managing Director Stephen Bench.
