The Holiday Inn Aruba Resort has completed a $20 million renovation project, the property announced this week.

The nearly 600-room InterContinental Hotels Group property, which is located on the island’s Palm Beach, underwent changes that included upgrades to its guest rooms, lobby and landscaping, along with a new Palm Bar and other changes.

“Strengthening IHG’s presence in Aruba remains key for our business as we focus on growing our portfolio in top resort markets,” said Alvaro Diago, COO for Latin America and the Caribbean and IGH. “Through IHG’s significant renovation coupled with the oceanfront location and resort-style amenities at the Holiday Inn Resort Aruba – Beach Resort and Casino, we have further positioned this resort to provide our guests with a memorable vacation experience as one of the best resorts on the island.”

The property’s guest rooms now have 37-inch flat-screen LED TVs, new carpeting and bedding.

“With the latest enhancements to the property, we look forward to showcasing all of the new upgrades that the hotel has to offer guests and allowing them to continue to have a unique resort experience,” said Heather Baisley, senior vice president for Americas at Holiday Inn Brand Family.

IHG has almost 200 hotel properties in Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean.

There are a total of 38 Holiday Inn Resort properties worldwide.
