INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS GROUP PLACES FURTHER HOTELS ON THE MARKET

InterContinental Hotels Group PLC ("IHG") announces that it has today placed a further ten hotels on the market, located in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

The 10 hotels comprise the InterContinental Wellington in New Zealand, three Crowne Plazas and five Holiday Inns in Australia and a Holiday Inn in Fiji.

This announcement is a continuation of IHG's strategy of growing its management and franchise businesses and reducing asset ownership. This has so far resulted in the disposal of 121 hotels with a net book value of £1.77bn, realising £1.75bn of proceeds, with 106 of the hotels disposed being sold with a management or franchise contract. In addition to the hotels sold to date, IHG continues actively to progress the sale of a further 16 hotels previously announced as being for sale, with a net book value of £360m (excluding the hotels announced for sale today).

IHG further announces that the investment by Strategic Hotel Capital, Inc in 85% interests in the InterContinental Chicago and the InterContinental Miami in the United States, announced on 28th February 2005, has now completed. IHG has received approximately $287m in cash (before transaction costs) based upon a total value for both hotels of US$303.5m, $12m in excess of net book value.

Andrew Cosslett, Chief Executive, InterContinental Hotels Group, said: "We have worked closely with our network of franchisees to build the success of the Staybridge Suites brand in the United States. We are now able to use our American experience and expertise to extend the brand into the UK market, illustrating the power of operating a family of brands across key market segments. As an industry leader we see opportunity to drive innovation and creativity in new markets. Extended stay is one of the fastest growing segments in the US and we believe that this trend will follow in the UK, where we aim to lead the market."

Louis Woodcock, Director of Stay Investments Ltd, added: "We have eagerly watched the success of Staybridge Suites in the United States and are delighted to have this opportunity to work with IHG to lead the extended stay market in the UK."

Mr Shiraz Boghani, Managing partner, The Splendid Hotel Group, added: "Developing Staybridge Suites reinforces our excellent relationship with IHG and illustrates our belief in the future growth of the exciting extended stay segment."

Staybridge Suites will offer one bedroom and studio suites, fully equipped for the extended stay business traveller, with rooms including a flat screen TV, DVD player and fully equipped kitchen including cooker, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and microwave. Free laundry and a grocery shopping services are also available.
