IHG generates revenue primarily through hotel ownership, management, franchising, and leasing. The company operates a diverse portfolio of brands, including luxury (Six Senses, Regent), upscale (InterContinental, Kimpton), and midscale (Holiday Inn Express, avid hotels).

The company's asset-light model, with many hotels franchised rather than owned, helps reduce capital expenditure and financial risk.
