ATLANTA - May 21, 2014 - InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) [LON: IHG, NYSE: IHG (ADRs)] today announced the opening of the Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor Regency. This resort is located one mile from downtown Bar Harbor, Maine has a marina and lobster pond on-site and boasts stunning views of the Frenchman's Bay.

"We are thrilled to welcome another beautiful resort into the growing Holiday Inn Resort brand portfolio," said Heather Balsley, senior vice president, Americas Holiday Inn Brand Family. "The Holiday Inn Resort brand is one guests have come to know and trust, and provides family vacation experiences that create lasting memories at our diverse group properties in key leisure destinations."

The Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor is located at 123 Eden Street and in walking distance to Acadia National Park and close to the College of Atlantic. The 280-room resort includes four floors, and features KidSuites® Rooms which are unique rooms within a guestroom designed specifically with kids in mind to include bunk beds, themed decor and a TV with electronic video games. The resort has a well-equipped fitness center, business center, game room, tennis court and 4,000 sq. feet of meeting space, as well as an outdoor pool with pool bar, hot tub and a Kids Club, an activity program for the whole family offering free on-site activities. On-site activities include searching for tidal pools, sea glass and sea creatures. Guests can also enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner at the property's on-site restaurant.

"Bar Harbor is the ideal resort destination for families," said Eben Salvatore, general manager. "The Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor Regency is located within steps of Acadia National Park where guests can enjoy hiking, biking and relaxing in the beautiful oasis."

The Holiday Inn brand was conceived as a way to bring the joy of travel to families in a fun, affordable and comfortable way. The brand's innovative approach changed the way millions of people travel, and ended up bringing the whole world together. Now, over 62 years later, the brand continues to evolve to meet the demands of today's traveller. That's why IHG invested in the $1 billion Holiday Inn global brand relaunch, the largest in hospitality history, which included the transition of the Holiday Inn Resort brand from the Holiday Inn SunSpree® Resorts brand in 2007. The relaunch continues to drive increased quality and consistency across the global portfolio, and new hotels feature a contemporary image with emphasis on arrival and welcome services, guestroom and guest bath comfort and a redesigned logo and signage.

The Holiday Inn Resort Bar Harbor Regency is owned and operated by Eden Street Trust and is franchised by an affiliate of IHG.
