                       InterContinental Hotels Group PLC

                         Director's Interest in Shares


Sir Ian Prosser has today exercised his options over Six Continents PLC (Six
Continents) shares, held under the Six Continents Executive Share Option Scheme
1985. As a result of the separation of Six Continents in April 2003 and the
listing of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (IHG) ordinary shares, Six
Continents shares are no longer traded on the London Stock Exchange.
Consequently, they have been automatically exchanged for equivalent shares in
IHG as follows:-




Six Continents PLC options               exchanged for                 IHG PLC ordinary shares
             19,500 @ 520p                                                33,343 @ 304.10p





Sir Ian retains this holding of ordinary shares in IHG.



As a result of the separation of Six Continents, all options over Six Continents
shares which were granted under the Six Continents Executive Share Option Scheme
1985 will lapse on 11 October 2003.  The arrangements under which all holders of
these options were given the opportunity to exercise their options in this way
were set out in the Circular to Six Continents shareholders and the IHG Listing
Particulars dated 17 February 2003.
