(PRESS RELEASE) London, UK, 2024-Nov-1 — /Travel PR News/ — IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of Crowne Plaza Podgorica, its seventh property in Montenegro and second in the capital city, set to open by the end of 2024. The 122-room hotel, owned by BIG CEE, is located in the prominent Capital Plaza complex—a mixed-use development that has become a focal point for Podgorica’s business district. Surrounded by multinational headquarters, upscale retail, and dining spaces, the new Crowne Plaza will cater to both business and leisure travelers.
In addition to multiple meeting and event spaces, Crowne Plaza Podgorica will feature a main restaurant, a ground-floor bar, and a signature lounge on the fifth floor. This property joins Crowne Plaza Kolasin, expected in 2025, as part of IHG’s growth in Montenegro. Vice President of Development Europe, Willemijn Geels, highlighted the expansion’s alignment with IHG’s strategy to convert and develop properties in key locations across Europe. BIG CEE CEO Lev Weiss noted that the partnership with IHG reinforces Capital Plaza’s impact on Podgorica’s business landscape.
IHG currently has two operating hotels in Montenegro and plans to expand its footprint further with three additional properties set to open within the next five years, including Crowne Plaza Kolasin, InterContinental Resort Cjan, and Holiday Inn Mojkovac.
