The announcement continues to emphasize that “IHG hotels can still operate and accept bookings directly”. All customers wishing to arrange or amend their booking should contact the relevant hotel directly, for example by phone, instead of using the company’s booking system.
Currently, there is no suggestion that customer data has been lost or compromised, although we are awaiting further updates from the company.
