InterContinental Hotels & Resorts started abroad as a subsidiary of Pan American Airlines, which sold the company in the 1980s. In 1988, the U.K.-based brewery Bass purchased Holiday Inn International, which was founded and began franchising in the 1950s. The company has since sold the brewery and franchises seven hotel brands across six continents. Their hotel brands are Candlewood Suites, Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Hotel Indigo, InterContinental Hotels and Resorts, and Staybridge Suites.
