Serena Lim, Vice President, Development, South East Asia & Korea, IHG said, “This hotel, with its convenient location and Crowne Plaza’s work/life blend experience, is ideally placed to act as both the centre of the community and the venue where everything happens. Modern travellers and visitors will benefit from the hotel’s design, which offers a seamless transition between work and downtime. It also complements IHG’s strategy to support the governmental masterplan to grow in industrial locations.”

Facilities at the hotel will include an executive lounge, a choice of multi-function rooms - including an 850 sqm ballroom, two F&B outlets, as well as an outdoor pool, gym and spa. Some of the rooms will have a kitchenette, making them suitable for longer stays.

Bui Xuan Trung, Chairman, Bao Quan, said, “We chose to partner with IHG for our first venture into hotel management due to their strong local presence in Vietnam, as well as their truly global scale, enterprise and systems. Their team has been sensitive to our needs as we enter the final build stage and, together, we have made cost-effective tweaks to the existing design to bring the Crowne Plaza brand to life, while accentuating the business and meetings focus of the hotel.”

IHG has been in Vietnam for over a decade and currently has 14 hotels across four brands: Six Senses, InterContinental, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn, with another 15 properties in the pipeline, which includes brand entries for Regent in Phu Quoc and voco Hotels in Danang.
