This will be IHG’s third property in Medellin, joining the InterContinental Medellin and the Holiday Inn Express Medellin.

Slated to open in 2018, the Crowne Plaza Medellin hotel is owned by Grupo Contempo S.A.S., which also owns the Holiday Inn Express Bogota. 

Joel Eisemann, chief development officer, the Americas at IHG commented: “Colombia is an important market for IHG in Latin America. We have solidified our presence in Colombia by partnering with outstanding groups such as Grupo Contempo. This is the fifth project we have signed with Grupo Contempo, and we are looking forward to continuing to grow with them. We are extremely enthused about this Crowne Plaza project, which will feature a modern design that is in line with the new, fresh image and direction in which the Crowne Plaza brand is going.”

The Crowne Plaza Medellin offers sweeping views of the city, including a 360° view from the pool bar located on the top floor. The hotel will feature a ground floor restaurant and lobby bar, a flexible 4,500 sq. ft. ballroom and about 1,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, as well as a fitness center, business center and the Crowne Plaza Sleep Advantage program. 

Alvaro Diago, chief operating officer, Latin America and the Caribbean, IHG said: “We are committed to offering business travelers staying at Crowne Plaza hotels the high-touch amenities and services that enable them to be productive while on the road. We are excited to have a new hotel to meet the needs of these guests, providing them with a well-recognized hotel brand that delivers a consistent guest experience near to Medellin’s domestic and financial entities, manufacturing and production facilities and other businesses.”

Crowne Plaza hotels participate in IHG’s guest loyalty program, IHG Rewards Club. IHG has operated in Latin America for more than 65 years, with 88 IHG-branded hotels open in the region and 27 more hotels in the development pipeline, eight of which will open or have opened recently in Colombia in the cities of Barranquilla, Bogotá, Cartagena, Cucuta and Yopal.
