ATLANTA, Nov. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- IHG^® Hotels & Resorts, one of the world's leading hotel companies, is once again celebrating hospitality for heroes in November to mark Veteran's Day and National Veterans and Military Families Month. For the second year, IHG Army Hotels – a unique portfolio of hotels located on 40 U.S. military installations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico – will give away 1 million IHG Rewards Club points in appreciation of the many contributions of military service members.

Jay Caiafa, Chief Operating Officer, IHG, Americas said: "As an Air Force veteran, I am exceptionally proud of, and share, the commitment of our teams at IHG Army Hotels to provide true hospitality to traveling members of the military and their families. IHG is honored to serve those who serve our country, both as guests and colleagues at many of our hotels and corporate offices. I'm looking forward to joining our fans to say 'thank you' to active duty service members and veterans this November and welcoming the lucky winners of this year's giveaway at IHG-branded hotels."

The 2020 sweepstakes begins Nov. 6 and runs through Nov. 15.

In addition to providing true hospitality, IHG offers the IHG Military Appreciation Leisure Rate – a military discount for U.S. and Canadian active duty, veterans, retired military personnel, and family members at participating IHG hotels across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

IHG also supports veterans through its IHG Veterans Hiring initiative, which offers comprehensive job listings across IHG corporate offices, IHG Army Hotels, and IHG-branded hotels worldwide. Designed as an easy-to-navigate resource, the hospitality career portal encourages veterans to put their passion to work.
