InterContinental Hotels Group
has signed a contract to manage the InterContinental Moscow, scheduled to open in
2010. The new signing follows the January 10th opening of the
InterContinental Los Angeles Century City, Calif., and the simultaneous November launch of two of the brand’s
flagship hotels – InterContinental London Park Lane and the InterContinental Boston.
The InterContinental Moscow is being developed by Rossiyskiy Kredit Bank and will be managed by IHG. The
205-room new-build hotel is located on the site of the former Minsk Hotel at 22 Tverskaya, close to the Kremlin, City
Hall and Pushkin Square.
“The signing of the InterContinental Moscow to our global portfolio reinforces the brand’s pioneering heritage and
renowned international reputation,” said Jenifer Zeigler, Senior Vice President, Global Brand Management for the
InterContinental Brand. “Russia is a key market for the brand and we are delighted to be working with Rossiyskiy
Kredit Bank on this exciting project.”
The InterContinental Brand has experienced
positive growth over the last two years and in 2006, opened a total of
ten hotels in seven countries, including four resorts. Resort locations included Taba Heights, Egypt; Panama; Murcia,
Spain and the $70 million eco-friendly InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa in French Polynesia. The
United States saw the largest growth of any country during 2006 with the opening of four new hotels including the
new-build flagship InterContinental Boston.
