Meet our partners: InterContinental Hotels & Resorts

InterContinental is the world’s first luxury hotel brand, and its commitment to pioneering new destinations that propelled it to great heights in its early years continues to drive it today. The hotel brand’s elevated styles strike a harmonious balance between freedom and familiarity, with each property being a beacon of hospitality that connects you to cultural exploration at every turn. Found in properties ranging from immersive resorts to historic landmarks throughout the world, InterContinental hotels cater to a diverse array of travelers, whether you’re looking for romantic getaways at the Ambasciatori Palace or an idyllic escape in the Maldives. No matter where you stay, you can expect to receive the personalized service and signature experiences that InterContinental is famous for.

Compounding InterContinental’s status as epicenters of local knowledge are the brand’s new Concierge Galleries in its rejuvenated boutique-style hotel lobbies, where you’ll find social areas with library spaces, informative features, and interactive displays that promote natural and engaging conversations between guests and the concierge.

For decades, InterContinental has loudly and proudly advocated for positive change on a range of social issues. InterContinental’s diversity, equality, and inclusion initiatives have been taken even further since it became a part of IHG, which – according to the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index (CEI) – has been one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality for the 8th consecutive year in the USA. The past few years have seen IHG achieve tremendous results in Latin America. For example, in 2021, IHG delivered Conscious Inclusion learning across its MLAC region. It has also recently championed “Travel Proud” hospitality training sessions, started an annual Global Inclusion Week, created a new Pride logo, and much more.

On top of all that, IHG is a member of the National Diversity Council and the Georgia Diversity Council as well as a proud signatory to the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion, the UN LGBTI Standards for Business, Women in Hospitality’s Diversity in Hospitality Travel and Leisure Charter, The Valuable 500, the 30% Club, and the Change the Race Ratio.

For a bit of inspiration on where next to travel, take a peek at InterContinental Edinburgh the George, which occupies five listed Georgian townhouses dating back to 1775, when they were homes for the Scottish Capital’s most affluent residents. Facilities include restaurants with local fare, the Burr & Co grab-and-co diner, and the Printing Press, where you can sip wine, cocktails, and craft beer till late. Even the entry-level guest rooms boast the likes of rainfall showers and characterful styles, and luxurious townhouse suites are available for those who want the epitome of classical elegance. Landmarks like the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle are a short stroll away.

Prefer a getaway in the tropics? You’ll love the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort in Vietnam, home to around 185 rooms, villas, and suites that have a whimsical take on the local traditional architecture, designed by famed architect Bill Bensley. As well as a tropical lagoon, resort spa, and a three Michelin-starred French restaurant, this resort boasts its own 700-metre private beach wrapped in rainforest.

For an even more remote escape in the sun, consider the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort amid the azure waters of the stunning Raa Atoll. Just a short boat ride from the resort’s Maldivian-inspired lagoon, beach, and overwater villas is Hanifaru Bay, one of the Maldives’ UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, where you can swim alongside manta rays and a plethora of marine life.
