Who runs this hotel?

Three different companies can sit behind one hotel. How this works

OperatorThe company responsible for the hotel's day-to-day operations — hiring and training staff, service, food and beverage, housekeeping and revenue management. It can be different from both the owner and the brand.
IHG Hotels & Resorts
BrandThe name on the door. The brand company sets standards and supplies the reservation system and loyalty programme — but it does not always run the hotel itself.

    In a 2018 interview, the owner representative explicitly states that Century City InterContinental and the owner's related hotels were entrusted to IHG for management. A 2026 college partnership notice still describes the property cluster as IHG, but neither source documents the current contract term; operator is therefore probable.
