New InterContinental Group hotels are opening in Eastern Europe, as more and more families are discovering the charm of this once undiscovered region.
Eastern promise
Once the relatively undiscovered half of the continent, Eastern Europe is becoming more and more popular with British families looking for a unique holiday.
In fact, in 2015, more Brits chose to holiday in Poland, than in Norway, Malta or Denmark – and it’s not hard to see why. Eastern Europe offers families breathtaking scenery, rich history, diverse culture and crucially, excellent value for money.
If you are among the thousands of families planning a trip to Eastern Europe, look out for the four new hotels opened by the InterContinental Hotels Group in Poland, Georgia and Bulgaria in 2016.
