IHG Army Hotels
The right place to stay is right on post – and IHG Army Hotels has become part of the Fort Riley by doing more than just offering a great place to stay. The organization has extended their hospitality to the community, and has supported community events, including Family and MWR programs like Victory Fest, Run for the Fallen, Fall Apple Day Festival and their favorite, the BOSS Trunk or Treat. “We are here on Fort Riley because of the service members, so we feel it’s our duty to serve them,” said Beth Lohman, the hotel’s general manager. “It’s more than just being a hotel on post; we’re a member of the community and we believe it’s our responsibility to give back to our Soldiers and families.” IHG Army Hotels at Fort Riley gives back to the military community in other ways, as well. When able, they provide free or reduced-cost lodging to Gold Star families, and military families affected by disasters like house fires. They have also raised funding for the Wounded Warrior Project and other Soldier-focused organizations. Wherever they are, they’re sure to be involved. Next time you see one of their friendly, professional team members, be sure to say thank you for their support of Family and MWR.
