- IHG to open Hotel Indigo Gosford and Crowne Plaza Newcastle by 2030
IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) will open two new hotels in NSW under its Crowne Plaza and Hotel Indigo brands.
Hotel Indigo Gosford and Crowne Plaza Newcastle follow IHG’s strategic partnership with Urban Property Group.
Expected to open in late 2029, Crowne Plaza Newcastle will offer 171-rooms and more than 550sqm of meetings space, including a 425sqm ballroom, a pool and landscaped public spaces.
Hotel Indigo Gosford is set to open in mid-2030 as part of Urban’s The Waterfront precinct. The 152-room hotel will feature views across Brisbane Water, a neighbourhood café and bar, rooftop pool and premium wellness facilities.
“Regional growth is an important part of our strategy in Australia, particularly in markets benefiting from sustained investment in infrastructure, tourism and major development,” said Matt Tripolone, IHG’s managing director, Australasia & Pacific.
“Crowne Plaza Newcastle and Hotel Indigo Gosford are outstanding additions to our portfolio and very well suited to their respective markets. We are excited to return Crowne Plaza to Newcastle and to bring Hotel Indigo’s distinctive neighbourhood-led experience to the Central Coast for the first time.”
