InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has signed two hotels at Aberdeen International Airport, which will operate under franchise agreements with long-time owner partner Dominvs Group.
The 165-room Crowne Plaza hotel, which will be newly constructed and set to open in 2016, will feature meeting rooms and an outdoor terrace, a gym, restaurant and bar, and car parking spaces for guests.
To be located next to the Crowne Plaza hotel, the 193-room Holiday Inn Express hotel is expected to open towards the end of 2015 and will feature a breakfast/dining area.
IHG Development for the UK and Ireland director Anna Corkill said: "We’re delighted to be bringing the Crowne Plaza brand to Aberdeen and to be expanding our Holiday Inn Express brand here. Aberdeen is a large hub for the energy industry in Europe and these two hotels are well placed to meet the needs of international and domestic business travellers who frequent the city."
According to IHG, the new hotels will join its four other properties located in Aberdeen, which include Holiday Inn Express Aberdeen City Centre, Holiday Inn Express Aberdeen Exhibition Centre, Holiday Inn Aberdeen Exhibition Centre and Holiday Inn Aberdeen West.
Dominvs Group owner Preet Ahluwalia said: "We couldn’t have asked for a better location at the airport.
