IHG Hotels & Resorts and Strategic Alliance have introduced the world’s first and largest luxury hotel brand to one of Australia’s most celebrated wine regions with the signing of InterContinental Barossa Resort & Spa.
Scheduled to open in 2028, the 150-room property will be set amid the rolling hills and lush vineyards of the Barossa, where each guestroom will boast views of the vineyards and landscape.
When complete, the InterContinental Barossa Resort & Spa will feature a 130-seat signature restaurant, lounge bar, outdoor garden terrace and the signature Club InterContinental. Other amenities will include a pool, day spa, fitness centre, as well as conference and meeting spaces. The resort will also offer scenic walking trails and easy access to a variety of outdoor activities in the region.
The Barossa, with its rich history and renowned natural beauty, is one of Australia’s most popular tourist destinations. The InterContinental Barossa Resort & Spa’s prime location in the heart of the Barossa will make it the perfect luxury retreat for visitors looking to immerse themselves in the region’s wineries and vineyards.
Matt Tripolone, IHG Hotels & Resorts managing director, Australasia & Pacific, said: “For the first time, the Barossa will boast a globally branded luxury hotel that will serve as an indelible beacon for guests seeking an unparalleled level of luxury and sophistication… InterContinental Barossa Resort & Spa will be the perfect destination for wine lovers, gastronomes, and luxury escapists.”
