The Spirit of Family Award is an annual award given to the hotels that demonstrate the companies brand values first introduced by founder Kemmons Wilson.

The original concept of the award was conceived by Steve Erickson at Wit’s End Productions to be both a commemoration of the recently deceased founder and a symbol of the new direction the hotel wanted to convey.

The composition is Kemmons embracing his creation with pride and welcoming the weary traveler with a relaxed demeanor and friendly smile. It celebrates the company’s origin with a nostalgic incorporation of the original sign.

The largest size is installed in the corporate headquarters of the Intercontinental Hotels Group in Atlanta, Georgia. The two smaller versions are installed across the United States in various Holiday Inn Hotels.
