The InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) will renew its presence in Christchurch in 2015, signing an management agreement to develop a 200-room Crowne Plaza hotel in the city, making it the group’s sixth property in the country.

The Crowne Plaza Christchurch, the third Crowne Plaza in New Zealand, will be one of the tallest buildings in the city and located in its CBD, across from the new build Christchurch Convention Centre, slated to open in 2017.

The 195-guest room hotel will feature 5 suites, function spaces and a variety of food and beverage options throughout the property to cater to both business and leisure travellers.

“Tourism is one of the 20 high priority projects outlined in the Economic Recovery Programme for Greater Christchurch, and we are proud to be part of the city’s economic revival," IHG head of development Australasia, Matthew Tripolone said.

"When the new Crowne Plaza Christchurch opens its doors in 2015, IHG will once again have a presence in every major market in New Zealand, and we are confident of our long-term growth in the region."

The former Crowne Plaza hotel in a different location in Christchurch was forced to be demolished in 2012 after suffering severe damage in the 2011 Chirstchurch earthquake.
