In a strategic move, IHG Hotels & Resorts, in collaboration with Pelligra Group and ONE7, has unveiled the upgraded positioning of their forthcoming hotel in Adelaide, set to welcome guests in 2024.

Initially introduced as a 130-room Holiday Inn & Suites, the Mawson Lakes property in Adelaide has undergone a noteworthy transformation during the development phase. Responding to heightened demand from diverse clientele, including corporate, leisure, and conference attendees, the decision has been made to rebrand the establishment as Crowne Plaza Mawson Lakes, reflecting the upscale quality of the build and the rising demand for meetings and events space.

Scheduled for a grand opening in the second half of 2024, the hotel will now boast 155 rooms, three expansive meeting spaces spanning 442 sqm, a fully-equipped fitness center, and a sophisticated bar and restaurant. This enhancement positions the establishment as a coveted destination for both business and leisure travelers.

Pelligra Group, already renowned for owning Holiday Inn properties in Werribee, Dandenong, and Melbourne Airport, is expanding its IHG-branded portfolio. This expansion includes the imminent opening of Crowne Plaza Carlton in 2024, in addition to Crowne Plaza Mawson Lakes and Holiday Inn Richmond.

Matt Tripolone, Managing Director for IHG Hotels & Resorts Australasia & Pacific, expressed excitement about the collaboration with Pelligra Group, stating, “IHG and Pelligra Group share a remarkable partnership, operating three hotels together with three more in the pipeline. We are delighted that Ross and the Pelligra team envision such a positive outlook for the premium travel segment in Australia, leading them to invest in elevating this asset to the premium sector."

Ross Pelligra, Chairman of Pelligra Group, added, “We are already so proud to operate three amazing Holiday Inn hotels in Werribee, Dandenong, and Melbourne Airport, with Crowne Plaza Carlton poised to open this year. Now we’re excited to be expanding our IHG brand portfolio to include our second Crowne Plaza in Adelaide."

Bruno Muscatello, Director of ONE7, celebrated the arrival of the globally renowned hotel brand in the vibrant Mawson Lakes precinct, describing it as a momentous milestone. He highlighted the synergy between world-class hospitality and the dynamic energy of Mawson Lakes, anticipating a positive impact on both the local business and leisure landscape.

The Crowne Plaza brand has witnessed a resurgence in Australia, with recent openings and refurbishments showcasing the best of this premium brand. Looking ahead, Crowne Plaza Melbourne Carlton and Crowne Plaza Shell Cove Marina are set to open in 2024, followed by Crowne Plaza Geelong in 2026, reinforcing the brand's commitment to providing exceptional experiences across the continent.
