Next year InterContinental Hotels plans to open Holiday Inns, Holiday Inns Express and Indigo hotels in Mexico City, Nogales, Guaymas, Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco. These will be franchise operations with the buildings owned by Mexican investors who will operate their hotels according to Holiday Inn standards. At one time the master franchise belonged to Posadas de México, that is to say, Inns of Mexico. Posadas went on to develop its own brands and sold its rights to Holiday Inn. Posadas later bought Mexicana Airlines, which under its management sought bankruptcy protection. Now it is rumored that Posadas is up for sale.
