With noctourism taking over the 2025 travel scene, travelers look for more nighttime experiences, on the hunt for destinations perfect for stargazing, once-in-a-lifetime cosmic events and constellation tracking.
IHG Hotels & Resorts leads the charge with this new trend by offering travelers a variety of unique astronomy experiences at properties around the world. A lot of hotels across the portfolio are situated away from the city lights, providing guests with some of the darkest skies and best views of the celestial sky.
