Olympic hotel added for London

INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS GROUP (IHG) will have a second London property available in time for the Olympics with the announcement of the InterContinental London Westminster, set to open in late 2011.  The 254-room six-storey hotel will occupy the former Queen Anne’s Chambers, originally built in the 19th century.  The 120,000 sq ft freehold site close to New Scotland Yard, London’s Metropolitan Police headquarters, is currently office and retail space.  The InterContinental London Park Lane was first opened in 1975, and reopened following extensive renovations in 2006 in celebration of the brand’s 60th anniversary. www.ichotelsgroup.com
