IHG Signs Two Hotels at Aberdeen Airport in Scotland

InterContinental Hotels Group has signed two hotels at Aberdeen International Airport.

The Crowne Plaza Aberdeen Airport and Holiday Inn Express Aberdeen Airport will both operate under franchise agreements with long-time owner partner, Dominvs Group.

The 165-room Crowne Plaza hotel will be newly constructed within a 2-minute walk of the terminal building. The hotel, which will open in 2016, features a number meeting rooms and an outdoor terrace, a gym, restaurant and bar, and ample car parking spaces for guests.

The new build Holiday Inn Express hotel will be located next door to the Crowne Plaza hotel and is expected to open towards the end of 2015. This property will feature 193 standard rooms and a breakfast/dining area.

Anna Corkill, Director of Development for the UK and Ireland, IHG said, “We’re delighted to be bringing the Crowne Plaza brand to Aberdeen and to be expanding our Holiday Inn Express brand here. Aberdeen is a large hub for the energy industry in Europe and these two hotels are well placed to meet the needs of international and domestic business travellers who frequent the city.”

Crowne Plaza Aberdeen Airport and Holiday Inn Express Aberdeen Airport join four other IHG properties in Aberdeen: Holiday Inn Express Aberdeen City Centre, Holiday Inn Express Aberdeen Exhibition Centre, Holiday Inn Aberdeen Exhibition Centre and Holiday Inn Aberdeen West.

Preet Ahluwalia, Owner of Dominvs Group said, “We couldn’t have asked for a better location at the airport. These two hotels complement each other perfectly and we look forward to opening their doors and welcoming guests travelling to Aberdeen.”
