IHG, Doreen Hotels & Resorts sign deal

IHG Hotels & Resorts, a British multinational hospitality company that runs its worldwide business in the name of InterContinental Hotels Group PSL, has signed an agreement with Doreen Hotels & Resorts in a bid to open Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan in Bangladesh by the end of 2022.

Tanzeer Alam Siddique, vice-chairman of Doreen Hotels & Resorts Ltd, and Haitham Mattar, managing director for India, the Middle East and Africa at InterContinental Hotels Group PSL, recently signed an agreement to this end in Dubai, a press release said.

"Building a successful partnership with IHG, we will soon open a hotel as Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan," said Siddique.

"Being a commercial hub and centre for all activities in Bangladesh, Dhaka is an important market for us in the region and we are always looking for opportunities to strengthen our offering in line with market demands," said Sudeep Jain, managing director for South West Asia at IHG.

Currently, IHG has presence in Dhaka through hotels operating across its leading global brands, InterContinental and Holiday Inn. 

Crowne Plaza Dhaka Gulshan will become IHG's third hotel in the city and will further strengthen the company's offering for both business and leisure travelers looking for quality hospitality experiences.
