InterContinental Hotels Group PLC announces Third Quarter Americas RevPAR Growth at Annual Conference for Hotel Owners
 
 
InterContinental Hotels Group's ("IHG") annual conference for hotel owners in the Americas region commences this week.  Details of revenue per available room (RevPAR) for IHG's brands in the US and Americas for July, August and September 2011, for the third quarter 2011 and for the nine month period to 30 September 2011 will be disclosed at this conference and are tabled below.
 
The US industry experienced record levels of room night demand in the third quarter as leisure travellers remained resilient through the summer and demand from business travellers stayed strong. IHG comparable US RevPAR grew 8.0% in the third quarter driven by occupancy growth of 3.0 percentage points and rate growth of 3.4%, an improvement from Q2 rate growth of 2.8%.  
 
On a total RevPAR basis, which includes the benefit of new hotels and therefore allows a direct comparison to the Smith Travel industry data, IHG third quarter US RevPAR grew 9.5%, outperforming the US industry up 7.9%.  On this same basis, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express RevPAR grew 10.4% and 9.2% respectively, outperforming the US upper midscale segment due to the continued benefits of the Holiday Inn relaunch.
 
IHG's full third quarter results will be announced at 7am UK time on 8 November when further commentary will be provided.
