Through IHG’s Shelter in a Storm programme, our hotels receive guidance on when and how best to respond when disasters occur. When a disaster occurs, funds from the IHG Shelter Fund can be allocated to enable our hotels to respond quickly and effectively to support our guests, employees and the local community with financial support, vital supplies and accommodation.
The IHG Academy is a collaboration between individuals, IHG hotels, corporate offices, local education providers and/or community organisations. The IHG Academy provides local people with opportunities to develop skills and improve their employment prospects in one of the world's largest hotel companies. Within a consistent framework, each IHG Academy is tailored to meet the needs of local communities as well as hotels around the world.
InterContinental Hotels Group understands that every customer has different needs and we aim to make our hotel facilities available and accessible to all of our guests equally.

Designated Blue Badge car parking
Accessible facilities – bar, restaurant and meeting rooms

If requested in advance, one of the accessible guest rooms in the aforementioned hotels can be equipped with a hoist. It is important to note that the ceiling track in the bedroom is separate from that in the bathroom, so the hoist needs to be unhooked and carried through. Guests are advised to bring their own slings. For more information, please contact the hotel directly.
We also offer accessible conference facilities with tables to accommodate wheelchair users, fixed and portable induction loops and adjustable audio visual equipment can be arranged when requested in advance.
