Intercontinental Hotels Group

One of the world's largest hotel companies is doing away with a tiny perk: miniature versions of shampoo, conditioner and other bathroom products.

Global hotel chain InterContinental Hotels Group Plc said a third of its franchised properties in the United States were hit late last year by malware that can steal guests' credit card information.

Brigade Hospitality Services, a part of real estate developer Brigade Group, plans to invest around Rs 750 crore to open up to 8 new hotels by 2020.

A credit card data breach has been detected that exposed guests at certain Marriott, Holiday Inn, Sheraton and other hotel properties to theft, hotel management firm White Lodging Services Corp said on Monday.

The 287-room Lemon Tree Premier hotel at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport features a dramatic view of planes landing and taking off, but it has no guests to see them.

"With companies continuing to be more cost-conscious, and leisure travellers looking for value-for-money options that do not compromise on quality, there is a clear gap in the mid-scale market," said Chris Moloney, chief operating officer, South West Asia, Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG).
