The Tri-Pack's Holiday Inn is the 1000th 'Relaunched' Property

As you know (er, if nothing else, then from the commercials), Holiday Inn has been going through a major relaunch. The logo is different, the linens are different — and, quite frankly, the whole concept of the new Holiday Inns is a pretty far cry from the crappy-bedspreads and ugly-carpets of the past.

And today the budget brand announced that the makeover spree has officially hit 1000: the media is all a-twitter today because HI sent around a press release to announce the opening of the 39th Street Holiday Inn in NYC (they're calling it the Holiday Inn Times Square — which, like, not quite), part of the Times Square Tri-Pack and a significant milestone for the chain.

The makeovers are spread across 3,200 currently-open hotels, and another 1,050 are in the development pipeline — the global relaunch should be 100% done by the end of 2010.
