Expected
to open by the end of 2026, InterContinental Belgrade will feature 203 rooms,
including 28 Premium Rooms, 15 Junior Suites, 2 Superior Suites, 2 Executive
Suites and a Presidential Suite with panoramic views of the city, providing
luxury stays designed for both leisure and business guests.
The
hotel’s timeless architecture and unique features will include a breathtaking
sky pool, rooftop restaurant and bar, and terrace complete with fine dining.
Visitors can also enjoy its spa and wellness centre, ballroom, lobby lounge,
café, patisserie and meeting spaces.
InterContinental
Belgrade will be ideally in the ‘Delta District’, a new mixed-use development
in Belgrade’s business and financial centre, offering direct connections from
the city’s newly renovated Sava Centar, which is the largest convention and
exhibition space in the region.
(Mrs)
Willemijn Geels, Vice President, Development, Europe, IHG Hotels & Resorts,
commented: “Our world-renowned InterContinental Hotels & Resorts brand
has been pioneering luxury travel for more than 75 years, and it’s great to
bring it back to Serbia, a country that has enjoyed a surge in tourism in
recent years. Its reputation as a business and investment powerhouse, together
with its rich artistic heritage, fascinating history dating back over 7,000
years, and exquisite cuisine, makes it the ideal destination for locals and
international visitors alike.
“InterContinental
Belgrade is our fourth property with long-standing partners Delta Holdings,
following Crowne Plaza Belgrade and Hotel Indigo Belgrade in Serbia, and
InterContinental Ljubljana in Slovenia. We look forward to continuing to grow
our partnership and, together, welcoming even more guests to the region.”
Andrej
Sovrović, Member of the Executive Board of the Delta Holding company and
Cluster General Manager IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are looking to
create unique places for locals and travellers to enjoy in Belgrade, which is
why we are excited that InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, the world’s
first and largest international luxury hotel brand, will be part of our exciting
new development in the city.
“Following
the successful opening of InterContinental Ljubljana in Slovenia, we
instinctively knew it was the ideal brand for our project. We look forward to
growing our relationship with IHG and, together, adding InterContinental
Belgrade to the brand’s trailblazing portfolio as a market-leading new build in
the region when we open our doors.”
IHG
operates three open properties in Serbia, all located in the capital: Hotel
Indigo Belgrade, Crowne Plaza Belgrade and Holiday Inn Belgrade, and has an
additional two Holiday Inn Express properties in development. InterContinental
Belgrade will also join a growing portfolio of nearly 20 open and pipeline
properties across the Balkans in Albania, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia and
Northern Republic of Macedonia.
