Condensed Financial Information Disclosure [Abstract]  
Condensed parent company financial information As described in note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, certain of the Group’s financial assets, which are held
in subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, are subject to restrictions. Since the Group as a whole has net liabilities,
the restricted net assets of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC’s consolidated subsidiaries as of 31 December therefore exceeded
25% of consolidated net assets. This Schedule I has therefore been provided pursuant to the requirements of Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X Rule 12-04(a), which require condensed financial information of a parent company
as of the same dates and for the same periods for which audited consolidated financial statements have been presented.
The Condensed Parent Company financial information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements. The condensed financial information has been prepared using the same material accounting policies as set out
in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, investments in subsidiaries are included at cost less any provision for
impairment in value. Where the Company grants awards over its own shares to the employees of its subsidiaries, it recognises
an increase in the cost of investment in its subsidiaries equivalent to the equity-settled share-based payment charge. Any
consideration received from subsidiaries in relation to those awards does not represent an increase in the cost of investment.
Amounts due from Group undertakings are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest rate method less provision for expected credit losses. In the condensed statement of cash flows,
dividends received are presented within investing activities.
The condensed financial information is presented in millions of US dollars.
Dividends paid by the Parent Company are analysed in note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
As at 31 December 2025, there are no mandatory dividend or redemption requirements for redeemable stocks to disclose.
