InterContinental Hotels<br />
reports return to profit<br />
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has<br />
reported a return to profit after benefiting from<br />
increases in occupancy in its key markets.<br />
Reporting its half year figures to 30 June,<br />
IHG said global revenue per available room<br />
(RevPAR) had increased by 7.4 per cent up during<br />
the second quarter of the year, compared<br />
with a 0.2 per cent rise in the first quarter.<br />
IHG reported RevPAR growths across EMEA<br />
(4 per cent) and the Americas (2.2 per cent) but<br />
the most impressive growth was at its Asian<br />
hotels, which recorded RevPAR gains of 13 per<br />
cent during the first half.<br />
As a result, the group reported a 22 per cent<br />
increase in operating profits – up to US$219m<br />
(£139m, 166m) from US$179m (£114m,<br />
139m) the year before. During the year, IHG<br />
added a total of 148 hotels (19,003 rooms)<br />
while offloading 83 properties. It now operates<br />
4,503 hotels totaling 656,661 rooms.<br />
Commenting on the results, Andrew Cosslett,<br />
chief executive of IHG, said: “We have now<br />
completed the relaunch of nearly 2,600 Holiday<br />
Inn hotels worldwide out of a total of 3,400<br />
and the performance of these hotels continues<br />
to meet or beat our expectations.” Details:<br />

September launch for <strong>spa</strong> at The Oitavos<br />
A new luxury hotel and <strong>spa</strong> called The Oitavos<br />

its design and menu, the Oitavos <strong>spa</strong> is situated<br />
amongst natural sand dunes and pine trees.<br />
Facilities will include 10 treatment rooms, an<br />
indoor and outdoor seawater pool, plus a sauna,<br />
steamroom and whirlpool. There will also be a<br />
<strong>spa</strong> garden area for guests to be able to practice<br />
yoga in a private cabana.<br />
The <strong>spa</strong> will exclusively use organic <strong>spa</strong><br />
brand, Voya, whose products are based on<br />
organic seaweed and hand harvested on the<br />
Atlantic coast of Ireland.<br />
The ocean theme will carry through to the<br />
treatments, which will include sea salt exfoliations<br />
and scrubs, a seaweed and algae wrap and<br />
a range of anti-ageing therapies.<br />
Located around a 20 minute drive west of<br />

da Marinha Original estate, which also offers<br />
