Several culinary enhancements
have been made such as the independent Italian destination restaurant, Theo Randall at The InterContinental, led by one of Britain’s most talented young chef’s, Theo
Randall. In addition, the hotel’s complementary restaurant, The Cookbook Cafe, will feature an innovative academy where up and coming chefs
will be invited to showcase their talents, offering hotel guests and London residents cookery classes and a culinary art
gallery of cookbooks.
InterContinental Boston
Scheduled to open on 3 November, the £168 million InterContinental Boston will make history as the brand’s first-ever hotel in Boston.
Located on the site of the Boston Tea Party, at the base of the Financial District, and within walking distance to a multitude of attractions such
as the North End, Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market and New England Aquarium, The InterContinental Boston will comprise a luxury hotel, exclusive
private residences and breathtaking waterfront gardens. The property will feature 424 luxurious guestrooms and suites, boasting stunning
harbour and city skyline views; 2,975 square-metres of meeting and private event space with high-tech amenities; a 24 hour business center; a

InterContinental Boston will also be home to three very distinctive and internationally themed beverage and dining concepts, including
a full-service, 24-hour restaurant. The Provencal themed signature eatery,
Miel, an authentic brasserie, will be joined by Rumba, a rum and private champagne bar celebrating New England’s rich history with the rum trade, as well as SUSHI-TEQ, a
high energy bar that will introduce an unusual cultural fusion, pairing sushi with vintage tequila’s from around the world.
In addition to these two new properties, the brand
has announced plans to open its first property in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA. Nestled at the
