INTERCONTINENTAL Hotels Group (IHG) has signed a management agreement with Vietnam-based real estate investor and developer, MIK Corporation, for the 300-room Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay.
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.
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.”
Located along the coast of Dai Beach in northwest Phu Quoc, the hotel is accessible via major highways and is close to both the island’s town centre of Duong Dong and the new Phu Quoc International Airport.
The hotel’s F&B options include all-day dining beachside restaurant Surf Shack, and a pool bar. Guests can use the fitness centre, outdoor pool, spa and kids’ club.
For couples looking for a wedding destination, Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay boasts a beachside wedding chapel and 240-seater banquet ballroom.
The property also features a business centre and six meeting spaces to suit a variety of event needs, with a dedicated events team on site.
Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay is IHG’s third Crowne Plaza in Vietnam, joining Crowne Plaza West Hanoi and Crowne Plaza Danang.
