InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has introduced a free, downloadable tool that combines Google Earth technology with a special IHG hotels file. Once the file is downloaded, users can see their destination city and where IHG-branded hotels (Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Crowne Plaza, InterContinental, Hotel Indigo, Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites) are located in relation to their travel needs. The tool lets users see local weather conditions and traffic updates; see their hotel in 3-D to view and navigate roads around the hotel; and pinpoint local places of interest. Users also can book hotel stays directly from the trip-planning tool.
