IHG Hotels and Coca-Cola unveil Santa’s Suite Retreat
Check into Santa-inspired suites at select IHG properties in Atlanta and New York.
IHG Hotels & Resorts has teamed up with the real magic of Coca-Cola to give the ultimate gift this holiday season: travel and togetherness. Starting Dec. 13, travelers and locals alike will have a chance to stay in a one-of-a-kind, Santa-inspired suite that brings all the magic of the holiday season at InterContinental New York Barclay and InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta.
The suites have been transformed to bring the most magical moments of Christmas to life – approved by the North Pole bear in the red suit himself – for the ultimate “Santa’s Suite Retreat.”
Imagine walking into a room pulled straight out of Santa’s village in the North Pole. The scent of balsam and pine, Christmas carols, windows sparkling with lights and snowflakes, giant trees decorated by Santa’s very own elves with a custom train set making its way around the room.
Milk and cookies and a fully stocked vintage Coca-Cola machine add to the delight guests will feel upon entering the suite. But that’s not all, ole St. Nick himself may have left some dry cleaning behind. Spoiler alert: it’s the red suit.
We want an upgrade on the Mr. and Mrs. Claus robes. We’d prefer non-gender-specific robes for the Queer Claus couples who want to book a “Santa Suite” for a more inclusive holiday experience.

“We know it’s not about what’s under the tree, but the people around it. And nothing rings truer than this holiday season when people are longing for human connection – to be with their loved ones and make new memories,” said Brian McGuinness, Senior Vice President, Global Guest Experience, IHG Hotels & Resorts. “So, we created ‘Santa’s Suite Retreat’ with the real magic of Coca-Cola to bring a memorable, joy-filled experience to our guests that they will treasure for years.”
Coca-Cola reps are excited about the partnership to create a unique Santa-themed experience, too.
“We are thrilled to partner with IHG Hotel & Resorts on this special campaign that brings families together to create lasting, joy-filled memories this holiday season,” said John Egan, Vice President, Customer Partnerships, Coca-Cola North America Operating Unit.
