IHG Hotels & Resorts celebrated the opening of a new Crowne Plaza hotel in Saint John, N.B., Canada, following a conversion and extensive renovation.
Located minutes from Saint John Airport, and within walking distance to downtown Saint John, Crowne Plaza Saint John Harbour View offers guests coastal allure and unrivalled views of the port city.
Crowne Plaza Saint John Harbour View provides guests with a range of spaces and amenities whether travelling for business or leisure—from the 135 premium guest rooms to the 5,500 sq. ft of meeting spaces and business centre. The pet-friendly property also includes a heated indoor pool and hot tub, a fully equipped fitness centre and an arcade. An on-site restaurant, Harbourvue Horizon, celebrating local and international flavours, is open for all-day dining. Guests will also be conveniently located near attractions such as The New Brunswick Museum, Rockwood Park, Tin Can Beach, Reversing Falls, Harbour Passage, Fort Le Tour, Fort Howe and more.
"This opening marks the beginning of a new era for the Crowne Plaza brand in Canada. Introducing another hotel to this growing market is an exciting milestone, and we are so proud to expand Crowne Plaza and welcome a sixth Canadian property to the family. We're excited to work with Devansh Group of Hotels to bring another premier IHG property to the East Coast,” says Jonathan Lund, regional vice president of operations, Company Managed Premium Hotels, and Head of Canada, IHG Hotels & Resorts.
IHG collaborated with owner and manager Devansh Group of Hotels for the conversion and renovation of the Crowne Plaza Saint John Harbour View. Headquartered in Ontario, Devansh Group of Hotels’ scope extends from real estate management to the acquisition and development of hospitality enterprises across various provinces in Canada.
