Logo

Does anyone else find their logo offensive - in a yonic sort of way? --PeterMarkSmith 09:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you serious dude? Prester John 20:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

wtf? in what possible way is "hcg" remotly offensive? Paco8191 03:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He meant the logic that was showing as of January 20th, still viewable in the history of the logo file.

Anyone has more info to the artcle about this IHG executive? Thanks, //Urbourbo (talk) 08:42, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the reference to 'express by holiday inn' on the IHG page seems out of date given all the hotels in europe were relaunched as Holiday Inn Express. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.7.214.111 (talk) 23:18, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Source for American relocation?

Has InterContinental really moved to America? There is no source, and according to the official IHG website, they are still based in the UK. Jagoperson (talk) 16:46, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Countries IHG operates in?

Concerning the "Operations" section of the article, the list of countries that IHG operates/franchises in seems to include a few countries with disputed sovereignty - particularly 'Tibet'. While this is a hot-button issue that I would rather not touch, from checking the IHG website, it does not appear that IHG currently operates hotels in Tibet since the Holiday Inn Lhasa closed earlier.

I deleted "Tibet" from the list of countries. However, with the possibility that the InterContinental Lhasa will open soon, I'm wondering if you have any feedback on how to list Tibet in the future.

On a different note, I also think that the "Notable Properties" section, which only contains one property, should be expanded or merged with the "Notable Properties" section of the InterContinental page. Any thoughts? EmperorNapoléonI (talk) 04:16, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I propose that InterContinental be merged into InterContinental Hotels Group. I think that the content in the InterContinental article can easily be explained in the context of InterContinental Hotels Group, and the InterContinental Hotels Group article is of a reasonable size that the merging of InterContinental will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. —F^red ¹1⁴ 10:20, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed edits to this page

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at IHG Hotels & Resorts. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

I am Meera Thakkar from IHG. We would like to propose the following edits to this page, to reflect some factual inaccuracies:

We would like to update our brand list in the three parts of the document that they are listed (intro, sidebar and paragraph at the bottom of the page). IHG Army Hotels is not a brand. Holiday Inn Garden Court is not a brand. We have also added several new brands to our portfolio. The current list is:

Regent Hotels & Resorts, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, Hotel Indigo, EVEN Hotels, HUALUXE Hotels and Resorts, Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, voco Hotels, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Holiday Inn Club Vacations, Holiday Inn Resort, avid hotels, Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites.

We also refer to "EVEN" and "HUALUXE" brands in capitals.

In the intro, we would like to take out the article on Regent Hotels and our acquisition as it has now completed.

We would like to update the paragraph on the number of our hotels as it is very outdated, to the following sentence, as these are the most up to date figures: "IHG franchises, leases, manages or owns more than 5,400 hotels and 810,000 guest rooms in almost 100 countries, with nearly 1,800 hotels in its development pipeline. IHG also manages IHG Rewards Club, our global loyalty programme, which has more than 100 million enrolled members."

We would like to edit the sidebar - Christopher Marshall is not our Chairman. Patrick Cescau is. We would also like to link to his wikipedia page, as well as Keith Barr's.

We would like to uupdate the revenue and operating profit listed on the page to the figures released at our last quarterly results in August 2018. Revenue - $875 million Operating profit - $398 million — Preceding unsigned comment added by MeeraIHG (talk • contribs) 11:12, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dated 22nd August 2018 MeeraIHG (talk) 12:53, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You can update the list of brands, but not with the "®" and "™" symbols as they are unnecessary and promotional. References (to reliable sources) should be added, not removed. ". . .our global loyalty programme" is not acceptable. . Mean as custard (talk) 11:30, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
