. November 10, 2014

November 10, 2014 - InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), one of the world's leading hotel companies, today announces the opening of the 200-room Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad City Centre with Shiva Satya Hotels Pvt. Ltd, which joins seven other hotels in the Crowne Plaza family in India.

Located in the largest city in western Indian state Gujarat, Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad City Centre is conveniently situated a short half-hour drive from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport and within close proximity to key business districts, increasing its draw as an accommodation of choice for business travellers.

Guests travelling for leisure will also find value in its proximity to key city attractions such as the Kankaria Lake - the largest lake in Ahmedabad; the Sidi Bashir Mosque, otherwise known as the Shaking Minarets due to its unique edifice; and the seven-storey step well and an architectural wonder, Dada-hari-ni-Vav.

Guests can choose to immerse themselves on a culinary journey at the all-day dining restaurant, Essence; the hotel's Italian specialty restaurant, Bella; or the Tea Lounge for a relaxing afternoon coffee. A host of business facilities are available at the hotel, including a business centre and a generous banquet space for conferences, meetings and events. Guests can also enjoy some time to themselves at the hotel's spa, swimming pool or fitness centre.

A senior representative from Shiva Satya Hotels Pvt. Ltd, said: "Ahmedabad has been identified by Forbes as one of the fastest growing cities in this decade and it is increasingly being recognised as the business hub of Gujarat, India.
