Former Holiday Inn to change flag after complete interior and exterior renovation
IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) [LON: IHG, NYSE:IHG (ADRs)], one of the world's largest hotel groups by number of rooms, today announced that a Crowne Plaza in Glen Ellyn, Ill., will open within a month, after a complete renovation from a Holiday Inn.
The completely redesigned Crowne Plaza Glen Ellyn-Lombard is located in an affluent suburb of Chicago near major highways and the Interstate 88 research and development corridor. Nearby key businesses include Sara Lee Corporation, Accenture, Deloitte and McDonald's Corporation. Guests at the Crowne Plaza will also be close to shopping malls and the Drury Lane Theatre and Conference Center.
Socially responsible, the 148,000 square foot Crowne Plaza will feature a guest recycling program, low-emissivity windows to reduce energy loss, and Glen Prairie Restaurant, which supports natural and sustainable farming practices. The hotel has 119 guestrooms, including nine two-room suites with microwave, refrigerator, wet bar, soaking tub, dual showerhead and two LCD televisions. Complimentary wireless high-speed Internet access is available throughout the hotel, and wired high-speed Internet access is available in guestrooms and meeting space. The hotel offers an indoor pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, business center and complimentary shuttle service.
"We are pleased to welcome our fourth Crowne Plaza to the Chicago market," said Gina LaBarre, vice president, Brand Management, Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, the Americas. "This property has undergone a complete renovation to upgrade to Crowne Plaza brand standards, and its premier location near several large corporations will make it an ideal destination for small or medium sized meetings."
The hotel will feature the Crowne Plaza Sleep Advantage program, which is available at all Crowne Plaza hotels in the Americas. Sleep Advantage encompasses the entire sleep experience, from training staff on how to create and maintain a restful environment to providing innovative products and services. Program components include new bedding, guaranteed wake-up calls, designated quiet zones, night lights, drape clips, sleep CDs, sleep tips and amenities such as eye masks, ear plugs and lavender spray.
Also consistent with the Crowne Plaza brand, the hotel will offer a comprehensive meetings package to ensure a seamless planning process and exceptional meeting experience consisting of three key components: a Two-Hour Response Guarantee, Crowne Meetings Director and a Daily Meetings Debrief. The hotel offers 9,400 square feet of meeting space for business functions and special events, with seven meeting rooms, including two ballrooms.
