IHG is introducing new Holiday Inn Saudi Arabia gaming pods at four hotels to provide families with dedicated spaces for gaming and relaxation.
New Holiday Inn Saudi Arabia Gaming Pods for Families
Holiday Inn is rolling out new Elite Gaming Pods across four Saudi Arabian hotels to provide families with dedicated spaces for gaming and downtime.
Inside the Elite Gaming Pod Experience
- Locations: Four Holiday Inn hotels in Saudi Arabia.
- The Amenity: “Elite Gaming Pods” designed for social connection and play.
- Target Audience: Families and leisure travelers.
- Core Function: Dedicated environments for gaming and downtime.
How the Gaming Pods Compare to Traditional Amenities
Hotels often create specialized activity zones to attract family travelers. While brands like Hilton or Marriott rely on traditional amenities such as pools or kids’ clubs, IHG focuses on a tech-driven, contained experience. These pods allow groups to play together in a controlled environment. This appeals to travelers who want to avoid noisy lobbies or communal lounges.
The Middle East hospitality sector faces increased competition from international brands. Holiday Inn uses niche amenities like these pods to capture travelers who want interactive entertainment. This move shifts the brand toward the lifestyle and leisure category rather than focusing solely on business travelers.
Maximizing Your Stay with IHG One Rewards
Travelers can use IHG One Rewards to manage the cost of a stay in the Kingdom. The program has several advantages over competitors like Marriott. For example, IHG One Rewards allows unlimited point top-offs on Free Night Certificates. Marriott caps top-offs at 25,000 points. IHG also provides a “4th night free” reward on award stays. Hilton and Marriott typically require a fifth night to be free.
IHG points are valued at about 0.5 to 0.6 cents each. You can earn points through hotel stays or the IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card. If you have Chase Ultimate Rewards, you can transfer them to IHG at a 1:1 ratio. This is a practical way to redeem points for a family stay at these properties.
Check the IHG website or mobile app for availability at specific Holiday Inn locations in Saudi Arabia to see if these gaming pods are available for your travel dates.
