IHG Signs Crowne Plaza Hotel in Phu Quoc, Vietnam

InterContinental Hotels Group has signed a management agreement M.I.K Corporation for a 300-room Crowne Plaza hotel on the island of Phu Quoc in Vietnam.

Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay will be IHG's third Crowne Plaza hotel 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.

The hotel, which is accessible via major highways, 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.

Located along the coast of Dai Beach in north-west Phu Quoc, guests will be steps away from pristine white sand and clear waters.

The hotel will feature a wedding chapel, 240-seater ballroom, a restaurant and a pool bar, as well as a fully equipped fitness centre, outdoor pool, spa and kid’s club.

Leanne Harwood, Vice President, Operations, South East Asia, IHG said, “Phu Quoc is going through exciting times. We've seen the positive impact that development of the new international airport has bought, and the upcoming expansion of the cruise terminal will also help drive tourism. The visa-free entry for a series of travellers has also helped growth in visitor arrivals. We're entering Phu Quoc at a great time and couldn't have asked for a better location on the island to open Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay.
