IHG launches HUALUXE Hotels and Resorts in China, the first upscale international hotel brand designed for the Chinese consumer

InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) [LON:IHG, NYSE:IHG (ADRs)] today announces the launch of HUALUXE Hotels and Resorts in China. HUALUXE is the first upscale international hotel brand designed specifically for the Chinese consumer, tapping in to the growth of domestic travellers within China, the increase in outbound international travel by Chinese people, and growing consumer demand for an upscale international hotel brand that demonstrates pride in Chinese customs. HUALUXE translates from Hua, which means majestic China and luxe, representing luxury.

"HUALUXE is a genuine first for the industry - the brand takes the best aspects of renowned Chinese hospitality and applies IHG's international scale, powerful systems and unparalleled insights to deliver a traditional high-end consistent experience" said Richard Solomons, Chief Executive Officer, IHG. "HUALUXE has been developed by our Chinese team in response to in-depth research that shows the Chinese traveller wants the status of a world-class luxury hotel group combined with a feeling of pride in China and respect for Chinese tradition. We are filling the gap and providing them with an environment to conduct business and socialise in a way that is tailored specifically for them."

"At nearly 30 years, we have been in China longer than any other international hotel group, giving us a deep understanding of the market and its consumers. We will now leverage that experience, and the strong relationships and reputation we have with customers and owners to establish and grow HUALUXE. " said Keith Barr, CEO IHG Greater China. " We are already in contract negotiations on over 20 projects and expect the first hotel to be open in late 2013 or early 2014"

HUALUXE Hotels and Resorts is a key part of IHG's strategy to grow market share in Greater China. HUALUXE will launch initially in Tier 1, 2 and 3 cities and resort locations in China and IHG sees opportunity for this brand to be in over 100 cities in China in the next 15-20 years. HUALUXE Hotels will follow IHG's managed operating model, similar to its other brands currently operating in China. IHG doesn't anticipate investing its own capital to build hotels but HUALUXE will be supported with brand development and marketing funds in the first few years.
