<P>16 November 2004</P>


<P>InterContinental Hotels Group PLC ("InterContinental Hotels Group" or the "
Company")</P>


<P><B>Special Dividend and Share Consolidation</B></P><BR>

<P>The Board of  InterContinental  Hotels  Group PLC (IHG)  today  announces  it is
publishing a circular  setting out full details of the proposed special dividend
and  associated  share  consolidation  and  convening an  extraordinary  general
meeting.  This follows the Board's  announcement,  on 9 September  2004,  of its
intention  to return  &pound;500  million  to  shareholders  by way of a special
dividend.  The special  dividend  forms part of a total of  &pound;1  billion of
funds that the Board has committed to be returned to its shareholders  since the
separation  of Six  Continents  PLC into  InterContinental  Hotels Group PLC and
Mitchells &amp; Butlers plc in April 2003.</P>

<P>It is proposed that the payment of the special dividend of 72 pence per existing
Ordinary Share be accompanied by a consolidation of the Company's ordinary share
capital (to maintain comparability of the Company's share price before and after
the payment of the special dividend and to maintain the position of participants
under the Group's share schemes).  The special dividend will be paid as a second
interim dividend in respect of the financial year ending 31 December 2004 and is
expected to be paid to Shareholders on Friday 17 December 2004.</P>

<P>The share  consolidation  will replace every 28 Existing Ordinary Shares with 25
New   Ordinary   Shares.   Fractional   entitlements   arising  from  the  share
consolidation  will be  aggregated  and  sold in the  market  on  behalf  of the
relevant  shareholders.  The  proceeds  of  sale  are  expected  to be  sent  to
shareholders  on  Friday  17  December  2004.  The  value  of any  shareholder's
fractional entitlement will not exceed the value of one New Ordinary Share.</P>

<P>The ratio used for the purposes of the share  consolidation  has been determined
by reference to the closing  mid-market price of 680 pence per Existing Ordinary
Share on 12 November 2004 (being the last  practicable  day prior to the date of
posting of this Document) when there were 699,176,104 Existing Ordinary Shares.<P>

<P>As at the close of business on 12 November 2004, the total amount of the special
dividend  was   equivalent   to  just  over  10.54  per  cent.   of  the  market
capitalisation of the Company.  The effect of the share consolidation will be to
reduce  the  number  of  Ordinary  Shares  in  issue by  approximately  the same
percentage.</P>

<P>As all ordinary shareholdings in the Company will be consolidated, shareholders'
percentage  holdings in the issued  share  capital of the Company  will (save in
respect of fractional entitlements) remain unchanged.</P>
