Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) is the latest hotel company to discover a payment card data breach, which affected 12 of its properties within the InterContinental and Holiday Inn brands. IHG said it is notifying customers who used cards at the affected hotel restaurants and bars between Aug. and Dec. 2016.
IHG properties that were hit by the breach include the InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta, Chicago Magnificent Mile, Los Angeles Century City, Mark Hopkins (San Francisco), San Juan Resort & Casino, Toronto Yorkville, and The Willard (in D.C.). Three Holiday Inns and a Crowne Plaza were also affected by the data breach.
Cards used at the front desks of these properties were not affected, according to IHG's statement.
A list of the affected hotel restaurants and bars, along with the specific time frames for each (times vary by location) is located at www.ihg.com/protectingourguests. The site also contains more information on steps guests may take to protect their information and what to do if they find unauthorized charges.
IHG said an investigation of its other properties in the Americas is still ongoing.
