Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) will launch its second Crowne Plaza in Danang, Vietnam.
The hospitality brand has partnered with Minh Dong Travel Service and Trading Company – a member of PGT Group, for the 300-room Crowne Plaza Danang Waterfront which is set to open in 2023.
The hotel is strategically located next to the beachfront on the city’s main thoroughfare Vo Nguyen Giap street, and only a five-minute drive to central Danang.
The property will complement the existing low-rise Crowne Plaza Danang, situated further south along the beachfront and linked to the popular, integrated resort. It will feature the brand’s signature Social Workspace lobby concept.
The Crowne Plaza hotel will offer 1,500 sqm of dedicated space, for hosting meetings and weddings for up to 400 people.
Guests can unwind in Crowne Plaza’s Worklife concept room, take a dip in the rooftop infinity pool with ocean views.
Three restaurants, a fitness centre, and a spa will also be a part of this IHG establishment.
Serena Lim, vice president, Development for IHG, southeast Asia and Korea said:
“It’s fantastic to be growing one of the world’s largest upscale brands, Crowne Plaza, in central Vietnam.
“The Covid-19 pandemic is showing us just how much our life and work are changing, and in many ways, becoming more integrated with each other. Nowhere is this more evident in Danang, where city and beach, and work and play, mix together. We are delighted to be partnering with PGT Group, who have extensive experience in the Danang and Hoi An area, to bring out the best of Danang through this hotel partnership.
“We are always looking to the future with the Crowne Plaza brand and focusing on how we can support our guests by providing them with a more digital, flexible, mobile, and connected environment in which to work, meet and relax, and I am delighted to have PGT Group join us on this journey.”
IHG has 14 hotels in Vietnam operating under four brands: Six Senses, Intercontinental, Crowne Plaza, and Holiday Inn, with another 17 in the pipeline including brands like Regent and Hotel Indigo.
