SEASONS GREETINGS FROM INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS & RESORTS EUROPE

Today we’d like to take this opportunity to wish you and all your guests a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. This year has been an exciting time for us. We’ve recently opened up two hotels:

InterContinental Porto-Palacios das Cardosas is the first InterContinental hotel in Portugal. Located in the heart of Porto, the hotel offers 3 fully equipped meeting rooms and is close to the UNESCO world heritage site, historical hotspots and fine dining eateries.

In Russia, InterContinental Moscow Tverskaya also opened its doors for the first time and offers a state-of-the-art function space, a main banqueting room and seven additional multi-function rooms for smaller meetings, luncheons or dinners. The hotel is centrally located and close to important business venues and main attractions including the Red Square and the Kremlin.

That’s not all, we have also introduced this year the 'InterContinental Meetings' in over 20 hotels across Europe which gives you access to new online tools, enhanced service promises and our unique Insider Collection that will not only help to make event planning easier but will deliver truly inspiring experiences for your delegates.

And, if you need even more reasons to choose InterContinental for your next meeting or event then our new 'Try InterContinental Meetings' package, available for meetings consumed by end of 2012 offering:

• Free Internet access throughout the hotel throughout the duration of the meeting.

• An upgrade of one standard coffee break to an Insider Break which means your chosen hotel will help you to organise authentic local activities.

To learn more about the package or 'InterContinental Meetings' program, see a list of participating hotels or to make a reservation, please visit the dedicated site.

We hope that our inspirational destinations, latest news, exclusive offers and the option to deliver truly inspiring and authentic experiences for your delegates has helped to make your planning an ultimate success.

We look forward to welcoming all your ideas, delegates and clients in the future.

Happy holidays and wishing you all a great start to 2012!
