Julian MacQueen, CEO and founder of Innisfree accepted the award at the IHG Americas Investors and Leadership Conference held on October 26th at the Palazzo Hotel in Las Vegas.

Innisfree is the largest employer on Pensacola Beach and the company's six hotels in the Gulf Coast of Florida and Alabama are one of the primary economic drivers in the region. The company's success is a remarkable accomplishment given the company's regional focus. Economic times are tough everywhere in America but here on the Gulf Coast multiple hurricanes and the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill have added serious insult to America's economic injuries.

This tiny hotel is actually an Airstream caravan measuring only 29ft x 7ft and is making its rounds at several different locations in London.

If you fancy stopping a night don’t let its size put you off as this miniature hotel comes with a dedicated concierge, check-in desk, room service, a flat screen TV, sound system, fridge and dining room area, double bed with luxury bedding, en-suite facilities and everything you would expect from a top London hotel.
