I very much enjoyed using the old IHG websites (e.g. seen here http://web.archive.org/web/201001051...elsgroup.com/#)

Unlike the new sites, the pages were quick to load, tabbed browsing was supported; and they were not cumbersome and riddled with (as many!) errors.

Is there any way to access live versions of the old websites? For example, through a certain browser, mobile device or particular user agent ID?

I remember there was a long overlap period during which the old ihg.com site overlapped with the new holidayinn.com site. Although I do generally embrace change, in this case I would hate to think that all the old sites have been consigned to the "recycle bin"!
