InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) Hotels & Resorts has signed an agreement with Doreen Hotels & Resorts Limited to open Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan in Bangladesh by the end of 2022.
IHG currently has a presence in Dhaka through hotels operating across its leading global brands, InterContinental and Holiday Inn, both of which are located in the city’s old business district.
Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan will become IHG’s third hotel to open in the city and will further strengthen the company’s offering for both business and leisure travellers looking for quality hospitality experiences.
Strategically located in the heart of Gulshan-2 area, the Central Business District and the highest-rated market in Dhaka, the hotel is spread over two sites - the first is in the mixed-use Tower block with 119 rooms, while the second Tower is in close proximity featuring 30 suites with independent facilities.
Being in an affluent neighbourhood and conveniently located between the city centre, shopping malls, popular restaurants, and Dhaka airport, the hotel will be a great choice for leisure travellers.
As the highly secure zone of Gulshan also houses multiple embassies, ex-pat residential areas, business houses and head offices of Banks, Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan will also be a great option for guests travelling to Dhaka for business.
In addition to well-equipped and spacious rooms which integrate business and leisure, Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan will offer an array of facilities, including an all-day-dining restaurant, three speciality restaurants, lounges, outdoor pools and gymnasiums for guests to unwind and relax. The hotel will feature a banquet hall and two meeting rooms for MICE requirements.
Commenting on the announcement, Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG, said, “We are delighted to partner with Doreen Hotels & Resorts Limited to expand the presence of our premium brand Crowne Plaza in Dhaka Gulshan.”
“As a commercial hub and centre for all activities in Bangladesh, Dhaka is an important market for us in the region. We always seek opportunities to strengthen our offering in line with market demands.
“We are confident that the hotel will be a great success and will benefit from the latent demand that will be generated owing to its excellent location and proximity to business and recreational hubs. The signing also aligns with our strategy to strengthen our footprint across our core brands in the key market within South West Asia,” he added.
Doreen Group Managing Director Tanzeer Alam Siddique said, “We are proud to partner with InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), one of the world’s most renowned and trusted hospitality brands.”
“Following a conversion process, and as the hotel will become a part of the IHG family, I am confident it will benefit from the company’s strong local presence, global scale, enterprise and systems. We look forward to opening the hotel as Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan soon and building a successful partnership with IHG,” he added.
