Unsecured bank loans

Unsecured bank loans are borrowings under the Group’s Syndicated and Bilateral Facilities. Amounts are classified as non-current when the facilities have more than 12 months to expiry.

The Syndicated Facility comprises a $1,275m five-year revolving credit facility maturing in March 2022.

The Bilateral Facility comprises a $75m revolving credit facility maturing in March 2022. The Bilateral Facility contains the same terms and covenants as the Syndicated Facility.

A variable rate of interest is payable on amounts drawn under both facilities, which was 2.15% at 31 December 2017.

Finance lease obligations

Finance lease obligations, which relate primarily to the 99-year lease (of which 88 years remain) on the InterContinental Boston hotel, are payable as follows:
