InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (IHG) today announces the planned retirement

Robert C Larson will be retiring on 31 December 2008.  Mr Larson joined the

on the Board of IHG following the demerger of Six Continents PLC in April 2003.

Sir David Prosser, who also joined the Board of IHG in April 2003, will be
retiring on 31 May 2008, having served for over five years with the Company.
Sir David is currently Chairman of the Board's Remuneration Committee and he
will be succeeded in that role by one of IHG's existing Non-Executive Directors,
Ralph Kugler.  Mr Kugler previously served on IHG's Remuneration Committee from
2003 until May 2005.

David Webster, Chairman of IHG, said: "Both Robert Larson and Sir David Prosser
have given outstanding service to IHG and their wise counsel and support will be
greatly missed".
