Our history

InterContinental Hotels Group PLC was formed by the separation of Six Continents PLC (previously Bass PLC) on 15 April 2003. The restaurant and pubs part of Six Continents became Mitchells & Butlers plc.

However, IHG's brands trace their history back much further than 2003. Our Holiday Inn brand, one of the world's most recognised, was created in the 1950s by Kemmons Wilson in the US. InterContinental, another of our brands, was created by Pan Am in the 1940s, when hotels were built in many of Pan Am's destinations.

IHG today

We have moved from investing heavily in hotel properties to return to our roots as a hotel franchise and management company and reducing the capital intensity of the business.
