Holiday Inn welcomes Priceline
InterContinental Hotels Group signs on with the reservations site just after bidding farewell to InterActiveCorp.
Priceline.com on Monday said InterContinental Hotels Group, which includes the Holiday Inn chain, has added the reservations Web site as a certified online distributor. The agreement means that Priceline will offer InterContinental's 3,500 hotels worldwide to its online bidding service.
The deal comes a week after InterContinental ended its relationship with InterActiveCorp's Expedia and Hotels.com reservation sites. On the same day, InterContinental added rival Travelocity as a certified distributor.
