Created by IHG to dominate the high-value midscale segment, avid hotels delivers 'just what guests need and nothing they don't.' Explore the engineering specs, acoustic headboards, and procurement best practices for avid properties.
The avid Philosophy: Pure Functionality
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) developed avid hotels after extensive consumer research revealed that midscale travelers prioritize three things above all else: an exceptional night's sleep, an energizing shower, and reliable high-speed Wi-Fi in an impeccably clean room.
Every element in an avid room is designed to reduce noise, improve air quality, and provide seamless technology integration without unnecessary clutter.
Key Prototype Specifications
Critical FF&E components include:
- Sound-Dampening Acoustic Headboard: Fabric-wrapped acoustic panels paired with heavy-duty commercial wall insulation to eliminate room-to-room noise transfer.
- Motorized Blackout Roller Shades: Wall-switch-controlled blackout shades recessed in custom window valence boxes to ensure complete darkness.
- Open-Concept Storage Bench: Integrated luggage bench with hanging rods and shoe shelf, eliminating closed wardrobe dust traps.
- High-Pressure Shower Systems: Commercial multi-spray shower heads and large-format porcelain tile walls.
