ENRICHING EXPERIENCES FOR OUR GUESTS AND OUR ENVIRONMENT


We believe that a responsible meeting is not only what you experience in the meeting room but also knowing that your hotel respects the destination around it.

We are proud to partner leaders in geotourism, the National Geographic Center for Sustainable Destinations. Our ambition is that guests enjoy enriching experiences that reveal what makes a place truly special – its heritage, culture and tradition – and the importance of protecting it.

At InterContinental we use a holistic approach to being a responsible business: to work from the grass roots up, recognising each individual hotel team as the experts best placed to use their local knowledge for developing community and environmental initiatives that meet the specific needs of the destination. This Insider Collection gives delegates access to some of these unique experiences, and for those meetings that stay in the meeting room, you can be assured our hotel is working behind the scenes to protect what is special about the place for fellow travellers.

The founding collections largely consist of books, ethnographic and archaeological materials, human & animal remains, artifacts and antiques.
