JANUARY, 1965
Seven New Hotels In 1964
This year, the 18th since Intercontinental Hotels Corporation was formed, four new hotels were opened and three existing ones joined the worldwide group. The total number of hotels flying the Interncontinental banner now stands at 28.
The new hotels in order in which they were opened are: the Hotel Intercontinental Geneve, the Vienna Intercontinental, the Hotel Karachi Intercontinental and the Hotel Jerusalem Interncontinental; hotels which joined Intercontinental are the Jordan Intercontinental in Amman, the Hotel Esplanade Intercontinental in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, and the Hotel Okura in Tokyo which became a member of Intercontinental’s Far East group on June 1.
The 400-room Intercontinental Geneve rising in the Park de Bude and built at a cost of approximately $9 million was opened on January 30. Its 18-story guest tower is faced with aluminum and glass. The majority of public rooms and services are located on the lower floors; the cafe and coffee shop seats 122, the elegant main restaurant “Les Continents”, which seats 156 and can be divided into five separate rooms for private parties, is lavishly decorated in burnt copper and gold while the furniture is modified Louis XV. “Le Carnaval” is the spectacular restaurant/bar with dancing on the 18th floor boasting a miles-wide view of Lake Geneva and soaring Mont Blanc. A ballroom, cocktail lounge, heated swimming pool and shops complete the roster of guest facilities.
On March 4 The Vienna Intercontinental was opened in the heart of that baroque city of waltzes and romance. The 14-story, 500-room hotel opposite the Stadt Park was built at a cost of $12 million and is completely air-conditioned. It is a modern, sophisticated addition to the city

To All Our Associates
In Intercontinental
With this first copy of Intercontinental News, I would like to extend to all of you, in so many different areas of the world, my most cordial wishes for the Holiday Season, as well as health and prosperity for you and the members of your family in 1965.
Because we have grown so much lately, it has been felt for some time that a medium of communication between us all was long overdue. In any large organization, progress depends to a maximum extent upon team spirit, a sense of belonging and a clear understanding by all of corporate goals. This means we must get to know each other better, we must learn more about our associates elsewhere, we must be aware of important developments within our Company, both at Headquarters and in the field. We hope Intercontinental News will provide this badly needed link.
It is fortunate indeed that this first copy of Intercontinental News coincides with the completion of a year during which tremendous progress has taken place. We are grateful to all of you and proud of the fact some of the most able, dedicated people in the hotel profession are within our own family of Intercontinental executives.
I am sure, with your continued active support and progressive thinking, 1965 will show additional gains and I pledge you the full support which you rightfully expect from Headquarters.
^-^'^ordially,
Robert «Huyot President

and offers spacious guest rooms with private baths at an average rate of $10.00. Regal crystal chandeliers, imported woods and marbles, brilliant color schemes all recall traditional Viennese elegance and style. The public rooms include the main restaurant “Les Quatre Saisons” seating 148; a night club, the “Rhapsodie”, accommodating 92 for dinner/dancing and the “Brasserie”, a gigantic cafe styled after a Viennese coffee house, containing the “Capriccio” Bar. This unique room, already popular with the residents of the city as well as
guests in the hotel, seats 266. The “Intermezzo” Bar, the grand ballroom, and the Presidential suite on the 12th floor round out the list. Guest amenities also include a subterranean garage, a selection of shops, an excellent tour-travel office, barber and beauty shop.
The Hotel Jerusalem Intercontinental with its hill-top view of the world’s most historic religious area, was opened March 20th. Designed in a low cloister-like architectural style to harmonize with its surround-Continued on page 3
