IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of the
world’s leading hotel companies, announces the signing of Crowne Plaza
Danang City Centre under a management agreement with Regis Bay Vietnam
Investment Joint-Stock Company.
Scheduled
to open later this year, the 283-key property will help meet the growing demand
for meetings and events in the city while offering guests a choice of rooms and
suites with picturesque views of the Danang landscape or Han river.
Rebranded
from the existing Bay Capital Danang Hotel, this quick conversion adds to IHG’s
growing portfolio of Crowne Plaza hotels in Vietnam, joining properties
including Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay and Crowne Plaza Vinh Yen City Centre.
In South East Asia and around the world, the brand continues to deliver its
signature blended travel experience, featuring spaces offering effortless
flexibility and balance between work and life.
Chris
Anklin, Senior Director, Development, South East Asia & Korea, IHG Hotels
& Resorts said: “We are delighted to continue IHG’s growth in Vietnam by
introducing Crowne Plaza Danang City Centre – our first project with Regis Bay
Vietnam Investment Joint-Stock Company. Located in the heart of Danang, this
outstanding hotel will cater to business and leisure guests by delivering
exceptional experiences rooted in blended travel.
“This
signing builds on the strong presence IHG has developed in Central Vietnam in
recent years, which has included the successful opening of voco Ma Belle
Danang. It’s the latest milestone for our business in the country and
strengthens our offering in Central Vietnam by adding to our existing three
hotels, featuring more than 1,000 rooms in total.
“There’s
plenty more to come, too, as we double the size of our portfolio from 16 hotels
to more than 40 in the next few years, introduce more brands and deliver more
fantastic stay experiences for the region.”
As
the commercial centre and transport hub of Central Vietnam, Danang aims to
become a market leader for business travel in the Asia-Pacific region, which is
forecast to be worth about USD$800 billion by 2027.
Rui
Xiang Chin, Board Chairman, Regis Bay Vietnam Investment Joint-Stock Company said:
“Thanks to its central location, ease of access and world-class facilities,
we’re confident Crowne Plaza Danang City Centre will quickly become a hotel of
choice for business and leisure travellers. Having seen IHG’s success in
Danang, and its upcoming properties in Hoi An, we believe the company’s strong
in-market experience, global systems and enterprise will prove invaluable to
driving performance and returns on this property.
“We
look forward to working with IHG to make Crowne Plaza Danang City Centre a huge
success when it opens later this year – the first chapter of what we’re sure
will be a long and prosperous long-term partnership between us.”
Danang,
known as the ‘city of the sea’, is the fourth largest city in Vietnam. With its
magnificent mountainous coastline and picturesque beaches, its calm, cool
waters provide an idyllic setting for activities including fishing,
water-skiing, diving, and yachting.
A
fifteen-minute drive from Da Nang International Airport, the 31-storey Crowne
Plaza Danang City Centre is situated in Hai Chau district within walking
distance of Danang’s administrative centre comprising government and commercial
offices. It is minutes away from Han bridge, Dragon bridge and the Da Nang
Cathedral, and within 100 kilometres of UNESCO Heritage Sites at Hoi An, Hue
and My Son.
Facilities
at the hotel include an all-day dining restaurant, lobby lounge and bar,
meeting spaces of more than 500 square metres, swimming pool, spa and fitness
centre.
Asia
Pacific is the future home of more than 90 Crowne Plaza hotels, including
Crowne Plaza Bangkok Grand Sukhumvit and Crowne Plaza Bangkok Rama 9 in South
East Asia, as well as an exciting expansion of the brand across Australasia
with four new Crowne Plaza hotels to open in the next six months including
Crowne Plaza Adelaide Mawson Lakes, Crowne Plaza Melbourne Carlton, Crowne
Plaza Macquarie Park and Crowne Plaza Shell Cove Marina.
