Tourexpi
IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) is
working with Peninsula Bay Investment Co., Ltd to return InterContinental
Hotels & Resorts, the world’s first and largest international luxury hotel
brand, to Cambodia.
InterContinental
Sihanoukville will underscore the Southeast Asian nation’s growing appeal
as a luxury travel destination when it opens in 2028. The 300-room hotel will
feature dining venues, bespoke bars, a luxury spa, and coastal views catering
to both leisure and business guests.
The
eye-catching property will form part of the Peninsula Bay Integrated Resort
development comprising hotels, retail outlets, and entertainment options.
Spanning approximately 160,000 square metres, it will feature an architectural
style that blends modern design with traditional culture, inspired by the
dragon to symbolise good luck and strength.
InterContinental
Sihanoukville will be situated just 30 minutes from Sihanoukville
International Airport and benefit from an outstanding location within easy
reach of Otres Beach, Ream National Park and Wat Leu Pagoda temple, and
offering a wide variety of activities for all types of travellers.
Bryan
Chan, Vice President, Development, South East Asia & Korea, IHG said, “At
IHG, we’re proud to be returning the world’s first and largest luxury brand,
InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, to Cambodia – a move in keeping with our
great pioneering tradition in the luxury space and our grand history in the
country."
“As
we venture further into the coast, we could not think of a better partner than
Peninsula Bay Investment Co., Ltd., with whom we’re collaborating to create a
bespoke integrated offering that matches its stunning coastal location, paving
the way for the InterContinental brand to once again lead the way in Luxury
& Lifestyle in Cambodia."
“Our
IHG team has a strong track record of working with owners to bring our
world-renowned brands to life by creating bespoke properties that match their
stunning locations – and InterContinental Sihanoukville is a wonderful example
of this. The Peninsula Bay development joins the ranks of other prestigious
integrated resort developments that IHG has joined forces within Southeast
Asia, including the Grand Ho Tram in Vietnam, Newport World Resorts in the
Philippines as well as upcoming projects in HANN resorts.”
Eddie
Chua, General Manager of Peninsula Bay said, “Partnering with IHG and
LBG allows us to deliver unmatched experiences in hospitality and retail. This
development is a testament to our vision of blending luxury, innovation, and
Cambodia’s natural beauty to create a destination like no other.”
Cambodia
continues to grow as a tourism destination, powered by its rich culture and
growing array of attractions, which encourage visitors to rest, relax and
unwind. Its government is supporting tourism through a comprehensive roadmap,
which has led to a 23% increase in international visitors in 2024, surpassing
pre-pandemic levels by 1.4%.
InterContinental
Hotels & Resorts is a world-renowned, award-winning brand with more than
220 hotels around the world. A pioneer in luxury travel, it has provided
outstanding experiences to travellers for more than 75 years and helped build
locations into key visitor destinations for decades. InterContinental
Sihanoukville will join this prestigious group of hotels, each of which
celebrates bold exploration, travel and cultural discovery.
IHG
continues to grow in Indochina with 22 open hotels and a further 26 properties
in the pipeline as the region is set to double its current size in the future.
InterContinental Sihanoukville will add to a growing collection of Luxury and
Lifestyle hotels in Cambodia as it joins Six Senses Krabey Island and the
upcoming Vignette Collection Phnom Penh Odom which is set to open in 2027.
