ATLANTA, Ga. (April 6, 2005) - InterContinental Hotels Group announced today the opening of its latest 324-room Crowne Plaza property in Concord, Calif., with plans to complete a $2.5 million renovation by fourth quarter 2005.

The Crowne Plaza Concord, which is owned and managed by Airport Capital Group, Inc., under a license agreement with a company in the InterContinental Hotels Group, is located at 45 John Glenn Dr., Concord, Calif., 95420. The hotel was formerly known as the Sheraton Concord.

"We are just thrilled to be a part of the Crowne Plaza brand," said Gerry Vadnais, general manager.
