IHG Hotels & Resorts has opened the new-build 308-room Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay resort on Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam.
This is the first Crowne Plaza in South-east Asia to offer the brand’s new Plaza Workspace concept, which is a new take on the traditional hotel lobby space.
Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay offers guestrooms, villas and suites, ranging from 40m2 to 411m2 in size. Each dwelling offers a balcony with views of the ocean or the island’s native greenery. In-room amenities also include pillow menus and bath amenities from New Zealand’s organic beauty brand, Antipodes.
Event planners may avail 416m2 of dedicated space across a Grand Ballroom and three meeting rooms, for up to 480 people in total.
Other resort facilities that encourage guests to relax and unwind include two swimming pools – a sheltered Olympic-length 50m lap pool and a lagoon fun pool, gym, and the Hoa Sim Spa with four individual treatment rooms. Corporate travellers with their young ones in tow can tap the Tribe Kids Club for a range of indoor and outdoor activities.
The resort offers two dining venues – the all-day dining Horizon Restaurant that has local Vietnamese and international cuisine on its menu, and the Amber Sands Beach Club for locally-sourced seafood and grilled meats.
Situated along Bai Dai beach, the resort is a 40-minute drive from the Phu Quoc International Airport, and 30 minutes from downtown.
