IHG Hotels and Resorts: does its uk corporate internship sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyUK Corporate Internship

Unconfirmed. IHG Hotels and Resorts publishes no sponsorship policy for its uk corporate internship, so we cannot state a firm answer. IHG's UK corporate internship is based at the group's UK headquarters at Branston and Windsor and runs for 10 weeks beginning in June. Eight areas were offered at the time of checking: Global Corporate Affairs, Business Reputation and Responsibility, Human Resources, Branded Residential, Europe Regional Operations, Performance Improvement and Operations Support, Procurement, and Finance Operations. The package is a competitive internship salary, hybrid working split between office and remote, an executive mentor for professional development, and heavily discounted stays at IHG hotels. The published eligibility is unusually short, naming only a relevant degree, current or completed, and the ability to commute to whichever of the two head offices runs the programme. Immigration status is not mentioned anywhere in it. IHG also runs a separate UK hotel internship route and, in the United States, corporate internships and a Manager In Training programme that are not open to UK applicants.

“If you have (or are pursuing) a degree relevant to your programme of choice and can commute to our corporate HQ's (either Windsor or Branston, dependant on the programme), then you have all you need to apply.”

The catch: The application process for 2026 was closed at the time of checking, so this is a route to watch rather than apply to today. The commute requirement is a real constraint: the programme is tied to Windsor or Branston depending on the area, not to London. The eligibility line names only a degree and a commute, which means sponsorship is unaddressed rather than refused, so ask before you apply.
