IHG Hotels & Resorts is continuing its expansion in Central and Eastern Europe with the announcement of Crowne Plaza Katowice, a new property set to open in 2027. Located in one of Poland’s most dynamic and evolving regions, the hotel is the second Crowne Plaza signed in the country and highlights IHG’s strategic focus on strengthening its presence in key European cities.
Katowice, the heart of the Upper Silesian metropolitan area, has transformed in recent years from an industrial stronghold into a thriving business and cultural hub. The upcoming Crowne Plaza Katowice will capitalize on this momentum, offering premium accommodation for both business and leisure travelers in a location that blends accessibility with innovation.
A Strategic Location for Business and Culture
The new Crowne Plaza will be situated within the mixed-use Global Office Park, a prominent development in central Katowice. The hotel will feature 150 stylish guest rooms, a full-service restaurant, a sky bar with panoramic city views, a well-equipped fitness center, and ample meeting and event spaces designed for business travelers and conferences.
IHG’s selection of Katowice is no coincidence. The city boasts strong transport links, a rapidly expanding business district, and increasing demand for international-standard hospitality. Crowne Plaza Katowice is expected to attract both domestic and international guests seeking contemporary comforts in a region known for its dynamic energy and growing economic potential.
Strengthening IHG’s Presence in Poland
The signing of Crowne Plaza Katowice builds on IHG’s existing Polish portfolio, which includes InterContinental Warsaw, Holiday Inn properties in major cities, and a recently signed Crowne Plaza in Wrocław. With more than 50 hotels either operating or in the pipeline across Central and Eastern Europe, IHG is making clear strides in expanding its footprint in this key region.
Crowne Plaza, one of IHG’s premium brands, is renowned for offering a blend of modern design, flexible workspaces, and amenities that cater to both productivity and relaxation. The Katowice property will embody the brand’s commitment to “Work/Life Blend” – a concept that resonates strongly with the evolving needs of today’s travelers.
