Daly Seven earns IHG’s top honor again, driven by four award-winning properties and a commitment to superior guest satisfaction and operational excellence.
GREENSBORO, NC, UNITED STATES, April 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Daly Seven, Inc., a premier hotel development and management company in the Southeast, is proud to announce it has been awarded the prestigious 2025 IHG Owner and Operator Excellence Award.

The Owner and Operator Excellence Award is reserved for companies with three or more hotels that have achieved IHG’s top performance milestones.
