<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">InterContinental
Hotels Group ("IHG") [LON:IHG, NYSE:IHG (ADRs)] has today announced
plans to expand its luxury and upscale estate in the UK. IHG has
entered into a conditional agreement with Fonci&#xE8;re des
R&#xE9;gions ("FdR"), to rebrand and operate 12 high quality open
hotels (2.2k rooms) and one pipeline hotel (185 rooms) into its
portfolio across the UK.</font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-indent: 0px">
<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">This
deal will establish IHG as the leading luxury hotel operator in the
UK, taking it to more than 2k rooms in this valuable, fast growing
segment.&#xA0; It will expand the presence for the InterContinental
brand, and enable IHG to launch its leading luxury boutique brand,
Kimpton Hotels &amp; Restaurants in the UK, adding multiple hotels
for the brand in prime locations in major city centres, including
London, Manchester and Edinburgh. &#xA0;This marks an important
step in IHG's plans to take the brand global, building on the first
signings for Asia and China last year, and will act as a catalyst
for Kimpton's growth in Europe.</font></div>

<div style="text-align: justify; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-indent: 0px">
<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">This
agreement will also strengthen IHG's position in the upscale
segment in the UK, and will establish a presence for its new
upscale brand, which will be launched later this year. The brand,
principally focused on conversion opportunities, will capitalise on
the significant opportunity IHG has identified to offer consumers
an informal but differentiated experience in the upscale segment,
whilst offering owners a strong return on investment. &#xA0;These
hotels will provide high-quality representation for the brand in
IHG's largest market within the Europe, Middle East, Asia &amp;
Africa (EMEAA) region, where it will initially be
launched.</font></div>

Keith Barr, Chief Executive Officer, IHG commented:</font> "We are
focused on continuing to expand our leadership in luxury and
upscale, which are both high-value segments with significant growth
potential. Bringing Kimpton to such an important market as the UK
is a key part of our plans, as is the introduction of our new
upscale brand, which will provide an exciting, differentiated
offering to both guests and owners. Together with the recent
addition of Regent Hotels &amp; Resorts to our portfolio, we are
building real momentum behind our plans to deliver industry-leading
net rooms growth."</font></div>
