The InterContinental Central Park South is a leasehold property, which Anbau intends to develop into cooperative apartment units.

Following the sale, InterContinental Hotels Group will continue to be represented in New York’s midtown by the InterContinental The Barclay along with some 36 other properties in New York and the surrounding areas.

Richard North, chief executive of InterContinental Hotels Group, said:

“I’m very pleased to be able to announce the sale of the InterContinental Central Park South. We achieved a fair value for this property and I am confident that our guests will continue to be well served by our other excellent properties in New York including the InterContinental The Barclay.

This deal is further evidence of the successful implementation of our strategy of reducing the number of hotels we own while maintaining excellent quality and service, and driving enhanced returns.”
