IHG's brand portfolio
IHG has lifestyle: indigo,
Crown Plaza , competing with other signature brand marriott, hilton Hyatt..
upper Upscale IC competing with JWM , Conrad, Grand Hyatt..
So it looks like IHG missing a luxury brand to match with Marriott's St Regis, Ritz, Hyatt's Park, Hilton's WA...
Which brand of IHG group can promote to compete with or should they make a new one?

There is no Marriott St Regis. If there were you'd be able to book any St Regis on Marriott.com (but you can't)

If that's true then I should be able to make a St. Regis reservation on either Marriott.com or by calling Marriott reservations - but neither will be successful, but let us know when you can

Rare to see.
That's my bottom line, no one here really cares about that or what you would response. As it's not our topic and normal people would not pay that much attention to those kind of things as you did, always.

And you have to go to Kimpton.com to make the reservation
As far as quality I believe it to be superior to a CP and more along the lines of an IC but usually a bit more unique and not as cookie cutter.

nowhere in the context of this conversation because you cannot use IHG points to book Kimpton. You cannot get IHG points for a stay at Kimpton or vice versa. Its only IHG by name and not by any action or real alliance.

And when United bought Continental, Delta bought Northwest and Hilton bought Scandic (etc) those flights/rooms integrated into the buyers website and you could book those flights/rooms only on the parent buyer, but today if you want to stay at any St Regis try and book it either online or by phone via Marriott and while you're at the St Regis try demanding Marriott Reward points for your stay - good luck on all accounts
And don't get me started on Air Berlin still being shown as part of One World !!

Vince Chan is right I would say. It is now Marriottīs St. Regis, even if Starwood is a subsidiary and we are used to St. Regis as a Starwood brand. One just has to look at the brand portfolio on marriott.com. Itīs a Marriott.

By the way, there is a thread on new Hilton brands (on the Hilton forum of course) and I find that to be more interesting.
