1.3 History of the InterContinental Hotels Group
Difficult beginnings
After the Second World War, jet-engine technology was just around the corner and, therefore,
civilian air travel would soon be within the reach of millions of people around the globe.
In 1946, Juan T. Trippe, the chairman and founder of Pan American World Airways (Pan
Am) with its headquarters in New York City anticipated the need for additional hotel
accommodation and decided to create, what is today known as, the InterContinental Hotels
Group.

Since 1933, in the early days of the first term of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the
U.S. government had decided to encourage business and travel within Latin America. Mutual
respect and trade should replace the image of the United States as the "big stick-carrying-
bully" from the north.

Roosevelt's Good Neighbor policy was accompanied by generous government loans with
attractive interest rates. The policy still needed vision and courage, however, and to
encourage the building of a hotel chain the help of a $25 million credit was enlisted from the
government in 1946. This amounted to 50% of the total project cost at a time when the cost
of a single 200-room hotel was the equivalent to the asking price of four of the latest
passenger aircraft models. Pan Am invested $50 million when it only had a net profit of $3
million. Among the key managers within the InterContinental Hotel Group was Byron
Calhoun, a self-made man, who at the age of 14 took his first job in a hotel. Having worked
for the Radisson Hotel in Minneapolis, together with a University of Chicago professor

Discovery about the hotel industry years ahead of its time: "Employees only perform at their
best when they feel the security of knowing precisely what their jobs consist of, and why
each element of their work is necessary. Training was the key..."
The predominant user of an InterContinental Hotel was the medium-income business traveler.
In this sense, one-bedroom suites designed for extended stays and trunks full of clothing
would become obsolete. Instead, the new traveler would need basic comforts: cleanliness, a
good bed, reliable hot and potable water, a private bathroom, fast laundry, a valet service,
safe food, telephone and wire service provided in the guest's own language, all at an
affordable price for the business traveler and his company.
The plans for a Pan Am owned international hotel group almost ended on December 31, 1948
because the Pan Am board had set this as the deadline for terminating support for the hotel
company. The decision was reversed because just before Christmas in 1948, an
InterContinental manager finally managed to conclude a $4 million loan agreement with the
Colombian government for a 400-room hotel in Bogota. This ensured the continuation of the
project.
Years of Growth and Anecdotes
In the 1950s, the InterContinental Hotel Group quickly developed. First in the Americas and,
in the 1960s, it expanded to Europe, Asia and around the globe. In 1954, the group recorded
its first, admittedly small, profit. Many of the hotels were purpose-built and avant-garde at
the time of their construction. Today, some of the architecture is less appealing, but for many
years it was fashionable and InterContinental was considered the hotel of the future,
attracting not only businessmen and tourists, but also celebrities.

1982. Photo © InterContinental Hotels Group.
The success of a hotel can also become a burden. In San Juan in the 1950s, for example, the
new InterContinental and its casino and show room, the Tropicoro, featured stars such as
Eartha Kitt, Harry Belafonte, Paul Anka as well as Marlene Dietrich accompanied by Burt
Bacharach. The island was always overbooked. It became such an attraction that the
management was forced to have guests sign a formal declaration at check-in confirming their
check-out date and their agreement to leave as scheduled; the hotel manager was repeatedly
forced to charter aircrafts, ferrying surplus guests to the InterContinental Embajador in the
Dominican Republic. The starlets aside, the political instability in some Latin American
countries was a factor for concern, some turbulences and even hotel closures here and there.
As for the future development of an InterContinental hotel in Frankfurt, the representative of
a prestigious, small, private Frankfurt bank was mindful of the accepted wisdom in banking
circles that "hotels are only profitable after the third bankruptcy" when they can be purchased
at a fraction of their initial cost.

Among famous investors in several InterContinental properties, for instance in Geneva and in
Ireland, names such as the American Countess Mona Bismarck, the French Baron Edmond de
Rothschild or the Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, crop up.
Some InterContinental Hotels organize special events once a year. A remarkable one takes
place (or at least took place until the mid-1990s) at the InterContinental Medellin in
Columbia, which was opened in 1970 during the high growth years of the group. On
Journalists' Day, "La Maccarenita", a bullfight was staged in the hotel's own bullring. Local
journalists would take on young cows, not bulls, and cheer each other's style and bravery.
Changes of hands and fortunes
Then, in 1980 the world's airlines suffered the worst decline in traffic and earnings in their
history, resulting in drastic change at Pan Am. It sold its New York City headquarters, the
famous PanAm building. InterContinental was still making profit, but Pan Am was not only
in the red, but soon out of cash. Ten years later, Pan Am's demise finally became reality.

Hotels Group.

On September 10, 1981 Pan Am was forced to sell InterContinental with its 83 hotels (only 6
of them fully owned) in 47 countries for $0.5 billion to Grand Metropolitan, a major British
conglomerate, which had begun as a collection of London hotels which were put together by
Maxwell Joseph, a successful English property agent.
In 1988 Grand Met moved the InterContinental headquarters from New York City to
suburban Montvale, New Jersey. For most employees, commuting to New Jersey was
impossible. Even with generous relocation allowances by Grand Met only three people, from
the head office marketing group, remained; one from development; but not a single secretary.
And so, for the new staff, the learning curve was steep.
On December 15, 1988 Grand Met sold InterContinental to Saison, a group of Japanese
companies engaged primarily in retail trade (the flagship being the Seibu department stores)
for some $2.2 billion. A year later this deal would have been impossible and certainly not at
this price.
In April 1989 the airline SAS acquired 40% equity participation in the InterContinental
group. In 1990 the Montvale office was abruptly closed and the headquarters moved to
London's Devonshire House, which resulted in another immense loss of know-how, and the
desired net reduction in operating costs was also not achieved.
In 1991 the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and "Operation Desert Storm" nearly brought
international travel to a standstill. In addition, the Japanese economy was in a recession. SAS
and Saison interests were too far apart. In early 1992 Saison reorganized its group and Seiyu
Ltd., a Saison Group company became the chief shareholder of InterContinental. In April
1992, Seiyu bought out the SAS position in InterContinental, which was reorganized again.
Inter-Continental Hotels and Resorts was introduced as the company's new corporate name
(the hyphen dropped later).

In February 1998, Seiyu sold InterContinental Hotels and Resorts to the British Bass PLC for
$2.9 billion. InterContinental Hotels Group PLC was formed by the separation of Six
Continents PLC (previously Bass PLC) on April 15, 2003. The restaurants and pubs part of
Six Continents became Mitchells & Butlers PLC.
Today, InterContinental has still a good reputation and visited many of them. The hotels are
not uniform and each has its own style and flavor. In addition to the purpose-built structures,
which were often the most modern hotels in a city or even an entire country, visitor can find
gems of historic architecture: the small Amstel InterContinental in Amsterdam with its 2
Michelin-star restaurant or the Hotel de la Ville in Rome with terraces overlooking the eternal
city!

Among the purpose-built InterContinental Hotels which the new one in Warsaw is a gem,
with its fitness studio and spa on the top floor. In 2004, the one in Hamburg offered gourmet
cuisine by a young ambitious chef. The InterContinental in Vienna - both in 2003 and in early
2007 - has had one of the liveliest, best accepted hotel bars and cafés, frequented by locals
and hotel guests alike.

Measured by the number of 3,600 hotels in over 100 countries offering over 537,000 hotel
rooms, the British InterContinental Hotels Group PLC is the world's largest hotel chain in
2007 - InterContinental Hotels & Resorts its flagship brand. Other hotel chains of the group
include Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn.

1.4 Bass Hotels
The origins of InterContinental Hotels Group can be traced back to 1777, when William Bass
established the Bass Brewery in Burton-upon-Trent. In 1876, its red triangle logo was the
first ever trademark registered in the United Kingdom.
In 1989, the British Government limited the number of pubs which brewers could directly
own, resulting in Bass investing in the expansion of its small line of hotels. In 1990, it
purchased Holiday Inn International from shareholders and expanded into North America.
1.5 InterContinental
Pan American Airways founder Juan Trippe established the InterContinental brand as a
division of PanAm and opened the first hotel in Belém, Brazil in 1946. On August 19, 1981,
PanAm sold holding company InterContinental Hotels Corporation (IHC) to UK-based Grand
Metropolitan for $500 million. As GrandMet focused its core business and expanded into fast
food through the purchase of Burger King, it sold IHC to Japanese-based Saison Group in
1988.

In March 1998, Saison Group sold IHC to British brewery Bass, which traces its roots back to
1777, when William Bass established the Bass Brewery in Burton-upon-Trent. In 1988, in
reaction to the British government limiting the number of pubs which brewers could directly
own, Bass invested in the expansion of its small line of hotels. In 2000, Bass sold its brewing
assets (and the rights to the Bass name) to the major Belgian brewer Interbrew for £2.3
billion and changed its name to Six Continents.
In 2003, the independent corporation InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) was created after
Six Continents split into two companies: Mitchells & Butlers took control of the restaurant
asset and IHG focusing on hotels and soft drinks. IHG retained Britvic, the soft drinks
division, until December 2005 when it sold its interest in the company by an initial public
offering. In April/May 2014 the company reportedly rejected a $10 billion takeover bid from
an unknown suitor, believed to be Starwood.

2.3 InterContinental Hotels Group Boosts Profits Gains in the Americas
The U.S. is London-based InterContinental Hotel Group’s largest region so that helped offset
a falloff in France, for example, after the wave of terrorism. Brexit, too, could help IHG trim
infrastructure/management costs.
— Dennis Schaal
InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, owner of the Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza brands, said
first-half earnings rose as a resilient U.S. market made up for slowdowns in other regions.
Operating profit before one-time items climbed 2.1 percent to $344 million, with gains in the
Americas driving growth, the Denham, England-based Company said in a statement on
Tuesday. That beat a $332.9 million average estimate by seven analysts in a Bloomberg
survey. Revenue fell 8.4 percent to $838 million after the company sold properties in Paris
and Hong Kong.
“Despite the uncertain environment in some markets, we remain confident in the outlook for
the remainder of the year,” Chief Executive Officer Richard Solomons said in the statement.

Demand for European hotel rooms has been hit by traveler uncertainty in the wake of terrorist
attacks in France and an attempted coup in Turkey. Accor SA, Europe’s biggest hotel
operator, said last week that first-half profit fell 4 percent partly due to its French business.
The Americas region accounts for more than half of InterContinental’s sales.
Operating profit in Europe fell 5.6 percent to $34 million — hurt partly by the sale of the
InterContinental Paris Le Grand last year — with revenue per available room in Paris
dropping 19.5 percent. In the Middle East, revenue per available room was down 8 percent
due to the ongoing impact of low oil prices. In the Americas, profit rose 6.1 percent to $313
million.
“Favorable economic fundamentals and historically modest levels of new supply in the U.S.
continue to support growth in our largest region, where demand continues to be at an all-time
high,” InterContinental said.
The company said it’s increasing its interim dividend by 9 percent to 30 cents per share.The
U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union may help InterContinental achieve administrative
savings, it said.
“With a substantial proportion of central costs denominated in sterling, we would even
benefit at a profit level if the post-referendum sterling exchange rate is maintained,” the
company said, noting that only a small portion of its hotels are located in the U.K.
InterContinental, which has about 750,000 rooms in about 100 countries, lost its ranking as
the world’s biggest hotel company after a wave of consolidation created increasingly large
competitors. Marriott International Inc. completed its acquisition of Starwood Hotels &

Resorts Worldwide Inc. this year Editor’s Note: Marriott’s acquisition of Starwood has not
been finalized and awaits antitrust approval from China; it has not yet closed and therefore
IHG is still, technically, the world’s biggest hotel company, and Accor bought the owner of
the upscale Fairmont, Raffles and Swissotel brands.
Investors spent $85 billion on hotel deals last year, 50 percent more than in 2014, according
to data compiled by Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. InterContinental conducted talks with financial
advisers about whether to sell itself or combine with a competitor, people with knowledge of
the matter said in November.

2.4 InterContinental Hotels Group Europe
The European Development team is based at IHG's Global HQ in Denham,
Buckinghamshire. An extensive field based team of developers have all the required skills
and experience to provide specific advice on any hotel development projects.

HUALUXE® is the first international luxury hotel brand from InterContinental Hotels Group

underpinned by internationally renowned consistency that’s supported by four principles;
chinese etiquette, status recognition, rejuvenation with nature, and enabling spaces. The
Business Elite will feel and be seen to truly accomplished at HUALUXE®, where they enjoy
the success of business gatherings and social events.
IHG launches Hualuxe brand for Chinese travellers
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has unveiled details of its new luxury hotel brand,
Hualuxe, A statement from the hotel group explains that Hualuxe aims to tap into three
growth opportunities – the growth of demand in both outbound international travel and
domestic travel within China, as well as “consumer demand for an upscale international hotel
brand that demonstrates pride in Chinese customs and reflects local tradition.” According to
IHG, domestic travellers is projected to reach 3.3 billion in 2015 while outbound trips will go
from a total of 10 million to 100 million in the next 10 to 15 years. Initially, the hotel brand
will launch in tier 1, 2 and 3 cities across Mainland China and some resort destinations, with
the first property scheduled to open at the end of 2013, before opening in major cities around
the world.

The upscale Hualuxe hotels will focus on four service areas, namely "tradition",
"rejuvenation", "status" and "familiar spaces", which are meant to answer to all the
fundamental needs and requirements of Chinese travellers.
In order to meet traditional values and priorities, the hotel will offer authentic Chinese
experiences, such as a late-night noodle bar.
The hotel will feature abundant natural surroundings and relaxing elements to help guests
rejuvenate and “break away from the pressures of their busy lives.”
The third aspect of the brand will answer to the cultural expectation of recognition and
respect, by offering, for example, VIP arrival facilities. Finally, familiar spaces mean a range
of public and private areas throughout the hotel for “a wide range of social interactions and
business meetings”, such as a multifunction business suite where guests can dine and talk
shop at one location or a teahouse catering to the Chinese way of doing business deals over
small bites and tea.

part of an international brand family.
Richard Solomons, Chief Executive Officer of IHG commented: “This is a very important
milestone for IHG as we announce the locations of the first two HUALUXE Hotels and
Resorts properties in China. The brand was built on over three decades of market insight,
experience and leadership in China and epitomises the finest elements of China’s world-
renowned hospitality. The brand has been well-received in the market since its launch in
2012 and we are on track with our vision of taking it to 100 cities in Greater China over the
next 15 to 20 years. The first two hotels, in Nanchang and Yangjiang, are located in China’s
heartland and working with our trusted owners, & confident they will be welcomed by both
Chinese and international consumers.”

3.8 Holiday Inn® Hotels
Holiday Inn is an American brand of hotels, and a subsidiary of InterContinental Hotels
Group. Founded as a U.S. motel chain, it has grown to be one of the world's largest hotel
chains, with 1,145 active hotels as of September 30, 2016. The hotel chain is based in
Atlanta, Georgia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holiday_Inn

The History of Holiday Inn Hotels
Since Kemmons Wilson built the first
Holiday Inn (holidayinn.com) outside
Memphis, Tennessee in 1952, the chain,
along with its Holiday Inn Express
hotels, has expanded to over 3,300 hotels
worldwide. Every Holiday Inn offered
the same features and amenities,
ensuring guests knew exactly what to
expect from a night's stay, and Wilson's
hotels became so successful many of his competitors adopted his standardization model for
their chains. Today, InterContinental Hotel Group owns the Holiday Inn brand, and the chain
welcomes approximately 120 million guests each year.
Beginnings
Wilson's vision for Holiday Inn was inspired by a 1951 family road trip, where he found
himself dissatisfied with subpar motels along his route, and Wilson was particularly unhappy
with hotels that added surcharges for his children. Wilson envisioned a chain of clean,
affordable hotels along major freeway exits. His original hotel offered 120 rooms with air

Conditioning, television and telephone. Children under 12 stayed free with their parents, and
the hotel had an outdoor swimming pool.
Expansion
The $76 billion highway development project of 1956 provided Wilson the perfect
opportunity to expand his business, as families took to the new freeways to explore the
country. Wilson began recruiting investors in 1953, and the company offered its stock
publicly in 1967 to generate capital for the chain's continuing expansion. The company also
opened the Holiday Inn Leiden in 1967, its first European hotel, and in 1972, Holiday Inn
became the first hotel chain to exceed $1 billion in revenues.
Technological Innovation
Holiday Inn embraced technological innovation during its expansion, contracting IBM to
design and implement the chain's Holidex system in 1965. This computerized system made
booking more efficient for guests and desk clerks alike, and provided a constant flow of
information between the chain's hotels and the home office in Memphis. In 1995, Holiday Inn
became the first chain hotel to allow guests to book directly through the hotel's website.

Aquisition
Bass, a brewery and pub owner in the United Kingdom, purchased Holiday Inns International
in 1988 to gain a foothold in the international hospitality industry. In 1990, Bass added the
chain's North American properties to its portfolio. Bass continued to buy hotel chains
throughout the 1990s, and in 2000, the company changed its name to Six Continents PLC to
reflect its diversified range of service offerings. In 2003, Six Continents spun off its
hospitality business from its retail operations, creating InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, a
distinct corporate entity with its own publicly traded shares.
Renovation for a New Century
In 2007, InterContinental announced a $1 billion face lift for its Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn
Express chains. The company would spend $30 million of its funds on the effort, leaving
franchisees to shoulder the bulk of the expenses. During the project, hotel owners refurbished
and modernized their hotels' interiors, furnished rooms with new bedding and shower heads,
and raised customer service standards to comply with new IHG mandates. As of time of
publication, franchise owners had renovated more than 3,100 of the chain's hotels.

3.9 Holiday Inn Express® Hotels
Holiday Inn Express is a mid-priced hotel chain within the InterContinental Hotels Group
family of brands. As an "express" hotel, their focus is on offering limited services and a
reasonable price. Standard amenities lean toward the convenient and practical which cater to
business travelers and short-term stays. As of September 2016, there were 2,469 Holiday Inn
Express hotels featuring over categ240,000 rooms worldwide.
The Holiday Inn Express concept was intended to target the "upper economy" market
segment, offering limited service, low-price lodging.
In Europe, the hotels were known as Express by Holiday Inn, but this variation was phased
out during the Holiday Inn Global Brand Relaunch which was announced in 2007.

Brands
 Holiday Inn – This is the most recognizable tier of service. There are two distinct types:
high-rise, full-service plaza hotels and low-rise, full-service hotels. The former also
included many high-rises with round, central-core construction, instantly recognizable
from the 1970s. Both offer a restaurant, pools at most locations, room service, an
exercise room, and functional but comfortable rooms.

 Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites – The properties offer all the amenities and services of a
regular Holiday Inn but consist of rooms mixed with suites.
 Holiday Inn Resort – The properties also offer all the amenities and services of a full-
service Holiday Inn; resorts are considered more of an advertising branding than a
completely different brand. Most Holiday Inn Resorts are located in high-leisure-
tourism markets.
 Holiday Inn Club Vacations – Vacation Ownership / Timeshare villas that offer more
space and amenities than a standard hotel room. The brand was formed as part of a
strategic marketing alliance with Orange Lake Resorts, which owns 26 resorts across
the United States. Orange Lake Resorts was started by Kemmons Wilson, the founder
of Holiday Inn. The company is still owned and operated by the Wilson family.
 Holiday Inn Select – These upper-range full-service hotels cater to business travelers. In
2006 it was announced that Holiday Inn Select hotels would be discontinued. Existing
hotels may continue to operate under the Holiday Inn Select flag until their existing
license expires, however many are converting to Crowne Plaza or regular Holiday Inn
hotels, with no further marketing or advertising based around the "Select" moniker.
Several Select hotels still remain as of 2014.
 Holiday Inn Sunspree Resorts (officially named SunSpree) – The properties were
typically very large, and located in resort areas with full-service amenities and deluxe
service. After 2010 they were incorporated as Holiday Inn Resorts.
 Holiday Inn Club Vacations – These are resorts aimed at families and are only based in
the U.S. The accommodations are mostly villas and suites. Membership operates similar
to a flexible timeshare basis.
 Holiday Inn Garden Court – The properties exist only in Europe and South Africa and
are designed to reflect the national culture.
 Holiday Inn Express – The properties are smaller versions of Holiday Inn hotels with
fewer amenities and services. They are very similar to competitors like La Quinta
Inn and Hampton Inn in which they appeal to middle class customers.

Other
Although originally called "Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza", the Crowne Plaza moniker was split
from Holiday Inn in 1994 to form a distinctive brand.
During the 1960s and 1970s, there were several Holiday Inn Jr. motels with just 44 to 48
guest rooms located in portables. Locations included Camden, Arkansas; Rantoul,
Illinois; Cleveland, Mississippi; Sardis, Mississippi; Farmington, Missouri; Springfield,
Tennessee; and Columbus, Texas. A traditionally constructed lobby building featured a
Holiday Grill restaurant. The Camden location had just 32 rooms while the Rantoul location
had 64 rooms.
Holiday Inn Magazine was a monthly publication for guests during the 1970s. It featured
travel destination and attraction stories in addition to a featured hotel property.
Elton John and Bernie Taupin composed the song "Holiday Inn" which was released on
the Madman Across the Water album in 1971. Elton explains to audiences that during their
first years of touring across America, they would stay in the same identical rooms no matter
where they were. As Bernie summed up in the lyrics, "From a terminal gate to a black
limousine, it's a ten-minute ride to the Holiday Inn"

Development
Holiday Inn Resort hotels meet the consumer
demand for Holiday Inn hotels in leisure markets
with resort style amenities. With 14 hotels in the
current pipeline, the brand continues to expand in
key leisure destinations around the world, evidence
that both owners and guests alike recognize the value
that the brand has to offer.
