message: 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)

message: 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?

message: 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. —Fred114 10:20, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

message: 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We would like to update the paragraph on the number of our hotels as it is very outdated, to the following sentence, as these are the most up to date figures: "IHG franchises, leases, manages or owns more than 5,400 hotels and 810,000 guest rooms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)

thread_title: Some proposed changes

message: #  The brands which were mentioned as no longer functioning were omitted.
#  Newer brands which were offered without references were not added. A link to a company website showing the mentioned brands would help here. Please advise. Operating brands added to the infobox and the main article lead and "Brands" section (please note that not all distinct brands were included).
#  The number of hotels (5,400 in the lead, 5,409 in the infobox) were updated, not including the 22 hotels not yet built but added to IHG's figures. 
#  The number of guest rooms was not updated both because there was no already-existing figure to update, and the claim was unreferenced. Again, a company provided website showing this figure would work. This number of rooms, 776,982 comes from subtracting the figures IHG added which  because those unbranded and/or un-built properties are not otherwise mentioned in the article. 
#  The link provided for investor information ostensibly from the August 2018 quarterly review contained no less than 24 separate links to pdf documents. Which document the information resides upon - and the document's page numbers - were not provided by the COI editor. Thus, the edit request claims referenced by it were omitted.
#  The capitalization of the brand name EVEN is evident in that individual brand's Wikipedia article, immediately in the lead section (e.g., "Even Hotels (styled EVEN Hotels) is a hotel brand concept created by..."). This is the case with EVEN but not so with HUALUXE, as the latter does not exist as a stand-alone Wikipedia article. In any event, guidance suggests that the article follow standard English text formatting and capitalization practices, even if the trademark owner considers nonstandard formatting "official". All caps would only be used if this is a style already in widespread use.
#  The CEO was updated and WikiLinked in the infobox. Mr. Barr's name was already present and Wikilinked.

replies: text: I did the first one. Rather than update the guest and room counts, I just rounded them off, so we don't have to keep updating them. Does this address your concern? Kendall-K1 (talk) 00:31, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

message: I have worked the Trippe name into the article (with some difficulty). This company, which is over 200 years old, had no involvement with Intercontinental until 1998 so there is no way that Trippe was the founder of the company. His role as the founder of the brand is already documented in the article on the InterContinental brand. Dormskirk (talk) 08:50, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
