IHG to open first Crowne Plaza in Hanoi in 2010
SINGAPORE – InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has signed an agreement with Tran Hong Quan Trading to manage the Group’s first Crowne Plaza hotel in Vietnam’s capital city of Hanoi.
Scheduled to open in early 2010, the new hotel will be known as Crowne Plaza West Hanoi and will be part of a US$65 million mixed-development complex. The complex will also feature an upmarket commercial centre and luxury serviced apartments.
The Crowne Plaza West Hanoi will have an unrivalled location in a new urban centre known as New Hanoi. It will be situated next to the National Stadium and Sports Complex, which hosted the 2003 South East Asian Games. In close proximity are the National Convention Centre, the Underwater Sports Centre and a high-end residential, commercial, retail and entertainment hub.
IHG has a development pipeline of four hotels in Vietnam. InterContinental Hanoi Westlake is scheduled to open in November 2007, with another three hotels slated for opening in 2009. These are the Crowne Plaza Danang, InterContinental Asiana Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City and InterContinental Danang Resort on the Son Tra Peninsula.
Meanwhile, IHG will celebrate the opening of its 150th hotel this November – the InterContinental Dubai Festival City in the U.A.E, followed by the InterContinental Hanoi Westlake in Vietnam. In the past year, IHG has opened 11 new hotels across six countries.
