Intercontinental Hotels Group Continues To Reward Its Guests

Priority Club® Rewards Members Can Earn Up To 30,000 bonus points or 10,000 bonus miles

ATLANTA (Tuesday, January 17, 2006) - InterContinental Hotels Group, [LON: IHG, NYSE: IHG (ADRs)] (IHG), is kicking off the New Year by once again offering a great opportunity for members of Priority Club® Rewards, its guest loyalty program, to earn bonus points and miles.


From today through April 30, 2006, Priority Club Rewards members can register to earn 3,000 bonus points or 1,000 bonus miles for every third night that they stay at InterContinental®, Crowne Plaza®, Hotel IndigoTM, Holiday Inn®, Holiday Inn Express®, Staybridge Suites® or Candlewood Suites® hotels worldwide, up to a maximum bonus of 30,000 points or 10,000 miles. The nights do not have to be consecutive, and nights can be at any of IHG’s almost 3,600 properties worldwide.


“As the most customer-focused guest loyalty program out there, we continue to make it easy for our members to get value from Priority Club Rewards,” said Steve Sickel, senior vice president, loyalty marketing, IHG. “As our members think about spring travel, we’ve provided a way for them to accumulate points or miles quickly so that they have more freedom and flexibility to redeem points for Reward Nights, airline miles, dining certificates or merchandise.”

Program members can spend these points on free hotel nights, dining or shopping certificates, free flights or car rentals, and a wide selection of brand-name merchandise available through the program catalogue or a Personal Shopper. Priority Club Rewards also offers the industry’s first and only “Any Hotel, Anywhere,” an innovative reward that allows members to redeem their points for virtually any hotel in the world - even a rivals’ property.


As a result of “Any Hotel, Anywhere” and added perks like the bonus points or miles, Priority Club Rewards was recently named the “Best Hotel Rewards Program in the World” as voted by the readers of Global Traveler magazine (www.globaltravelerusa.com).


Priority Club Rewards is the industry's first, largest and fastest-growing hotel loyalty program. Compared to other hotel loyalty programs, it offers the greatest ease of use and features more sought-after benefits, including Points Transfer, Points Purchase, no blackout dates on Reward Nights, no point expiration and the Any Hotel Anywhere reward. Program members can earn bonus points or miles for a variety of hotel-related charges, including the room rate, food and beverage, telephone, laundry and in-room movies


Enrollment in Priority Club Rewards is free. Guests can enroll by visiting priorityclub.com, by calling 1-888-211-9874 or by inquiring at the front desk of any InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, Holiday Inn,

Holiday Inn Express, Hotel Indigo, Staybridge Suites or Candlewood Suites hotel worldwide.
