Crowne Plaza to open Phu Quoc
InterContinental Hotels Group has signed a management agreement with leading real-estate investor and developer in Vietnam, M.I.K Corporation, for a Crowne Plaza hotel on the island of Phu Quoc.
Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay will be one of IHG’s first hotels in Phu Quoc and the company’s third Crowne Plaza in Vietnam, joining Crowne Plaza West Hanoi and Crowne Plaza Danang. Slated to open in 2017, Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay will be part of the new Star Bay/Green Hill development, which will also feature a lagoon, beach village and a range of shops, restaurants and bars.
Located along the coast of Dai Beach, the hotel is close to both the island’s town centre of Duong Dong and the new Phu Quoc International Airport, making it a prime venue for corporate and leisure events.
The hotel will have a business centre, a dedicated meeting and events team and six meeting spaces. Other facilities include an all-day dining, beachside restaurant, and pool bar as well as a fitness centre, outdoor pool and spa.
John Lim, CEO, M.I.K Corporation, comments: “We are delighted to work with IHG – the world’s largest hotel company – to bring the first Crowne Plaza hotel to Phu Quoc. The island is growing as a tourism destination and as one of the few hotels in the market with a range of meetings and events facilities, Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay will be in a great position to cater to the growth in business and leisure travellers.”
IHG has six hotels open across two brands in Vietnam: two Crowne Plaza hotels and four InterContinental hotels and resorts with a further seven hotels and resorts in the development pipeline.
