InterContinental Manila (colloquially Intercon/ICM) was a five-star InterContinental hotel located on Ayala Avenue in Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines. At the time of its closure, it was the longest operating international chain hotel in the Philippines. It was designed by National Artist Leandro Locsin.[1][2]

The hotel opened on April 11, 1969 and ceased operations on December 31, 2015, with demolition works of the building was made from April 2016 to March 2017.[1] It was the first 5-star hotel in Makati and the second InterContinental hotel in Asia. All of its 332 guest rooms and suites were updated in 2006 to incorporate traditional and modern Filipino design. [3][4][5]

History

A press released in 1958 on the building then dubbed as Rizal InterContinental Hotel, lists Rizal Development Corporation and Pan American Airways as developers of the hotel. The initial 1958 design of the hotel was not followed and shelved. Construction of the hotel would be completed ten years later in 1969, and was inaugurated as InterContinental Hotel Manila.[6]

The InterContinental property is owned by Ayala Land Hotel's wholly owned subsidiary, Ayala Land Hotels and Resorts Corp. and has been under the InterContinental Hotels Group since 1969.

The hotel ceased operations on December 31, 2015,[7] when the hotel management contract between the subsidiary of AyalaLand Hotels and Resorts Corp and InterContinental Hotels Group ended. The hotel would then be replaced by One Ayala, a new mixed-used development which includes an intermodal transport facility, two new hotels including Ayala's Seda Hotel, two office towers, and a convention tower.[1][8][9][10][11][12]
