Overview
InterContinental®
Hotels & Resorts – InterContinental Hotels & Resorts was the
first truly international hotel brand in the world, and quickly became
the symbol of glamour, sophistication and success that years later,
continue to define global travel. The brand is committed to providing
its guests with memorable and unique experiences that enrich their
lives and broaden their outlook. InterContinental offers services and
amenities specifically designed for the
international business traveler, while maintaining the delicate balance
of luxury expectations with authentic local experiences that enhance
the leisure stay as well. Located in more than 60 countries,
InterContinental continues to expand in key destinations around the
globe.
What does it mean to be in the know? Ask the staff of any InterContinental Hotels & Resorts. With roots in the mosaic of cultures and landscapes that define our world, InterContinental goes out of its way to enrich guest stays with authentic experiences that make the world feel bigger. To fulfill this promise, the brand spent more that $10 million on a colleague engagement program to encourage the sharing of local knowledge so guests get more out of their travel destinations. The brand's primary sponsorship of the glamorous Aston Martin Racing Team further illustrates the InterContinental support of one-of-a-kind adventure our guests seek.
