Description of nature of entity's relationship with associate | The Group held one material associate investment at 31 December 2019, a 19.9% interest in 111 East 48th Street Holdings, LLC (the 'Barclay associate') which owns InterContinental New York Barclay (the hotel), a hotel managed by the Group. The hotel reopened for trading in April 2016 following a major renovation. The investment is classified as an associate and equity accounted.

The Group's ability to receive cash dividends is dependent on the hotel generating sufficient income to satisfy specified owner returns. |  |
