Dive Into Fall with InterContinental Hotels & Resorts Featuring A Selection of "Leisure Leaves" and Insider Experiences

Exclusive Hotel Offers and News Include Celebrating Seasonal Honey Harvests, Fashion Week Styling and Slam Dunk Steaks at Michael Jordan’s New Restaurant

ATLANTA - To celebrate the arrival of the fall season, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, the world’s first truly international hotel brand, is offering special packages with a slightly autumnal bent, from gathering the first honey crop of the season (made fresh atop InterContinental Boston in the hotel’s signature apiary) to receiving the red-carpet treatment for New York Fashion Week at InterContinental New York Times Square.

InterContinental Boston - Bee-line for Fall
Home to Boston’s first rooftop apiary, InterContinental Boston will usher in September - officially known as “National Honey Month” - with a special “Honey Harvest Dinner” at Miel “Brasserie Provençale,” a Provence-inspired brasserie featuring dishes and cocktails that incorporate honey made by the hotel’s on-site bees. To celebrate the hotel’s first significant honey harvest, on Tuesday, September 20, 2011 Miel will offer guests and locals alike a custom four-course dinner featuring plates infused with honey and seasonal ingredients - among them honey-brushed quail with brioche toast and honey-berry sorbet - as well as a wine pairing and cocktail reception, all valued at U.S. $75 per person. www.intercontinental.com/boston

InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta - Savor Southern Comfort
After sweeping the Washington, D.C. food scene with Art and Soul restaurant on Capitol Hill, acclaimed chef, restaurateur and cookbook author Art Smith brings his signature culinary spin down south with Southern Art and Bourbon Bar at InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta - his first restaurant and bar concepts in the Southeast. Opening on Monday, September 26, 2011, the restaurant complements the modern hotel and its surrounding affluent Buckhead neighborhood with its unique blend of Southern comfort food and artisanal offerings, such as a ham-and-charcuterie bar and house-made Southern pies and cakes. Bourbon Bar will highlight a well-cultivated selection of American bourbon distillers with more than 70 offerings, in addition to pre-Prohibition classic American cocktails. www.intercontinental.com/buckhead

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile - Like Mike (And His Steaks)
Fall is traditionally a time of re-orientation, which is why NBA legend Michael Jordan is making an unusual comeback - as a steakhouse restaurateur. The recently opened Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse Chicago, which inhabits the InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile’s sprawling second-floor dining space, features a roster of prime meats, seafood favorites and powerhouse desserts such as a 23-layered chocolate cake. www.intercontinental.com/icchicago
