Truly memorable meetings and events with authentic local flavour – that is the inspiration behind the InterContinental Insider Collection.
Exclusive to InterContinental Meetings, our Insider Collection provides a range of delegate experiences that are rooted in the destination and draw on our unrivalled local knowledge to create truly engaging, personalised meetings and events. These are carefully chosen to energise delegates with locally-inspired and authentic experiences, whilst ensuring the high service levels that people have come to expect from InterContinental Hotels & Resorts. Tailored to each occasion, these can range from interactive off-site team-building activities through to stimulating local speakers, or the opportunity for delegates to contribute to projects that benefit the surrounding community and environment.
The Insider Collection is inspired by our global network of hotels and resorts and our team’s wealth of local knowledge and connections. The result, as more and more planners are discovering, is memorable meetings and events with real local flavour.
