Set to open its doors in early 2021, IHG has announced the new Holiday Inn Queenstown Remarkables Park, a flagship for Holiday Inn in New Zealand, following the signing of an agreement with property owner QLong Investments Limited.
The 182 room build will be located within a few minutes’ drive from Queenstown Airport and close to The Remarkables Ski Field, and will feature an all-day dining and bar venue, as well as large meeting facilities and a gym for guests.
Abhijay Sandilya, IHG’s Senior Director of Development – Australasia, said: “Holiday Inn is famous for bringing special experiences to guests around the globe. With a company focus on growing our brands into regional areas, we are thrilled to partner with QLong Investments to bring a stunning new Holiday Inn to New Zealand. Our existing hotels in Queenstown are performing extremely well, and this new Holiday Inn will complement them perfectly, along with the upcoming Holiday Inn Express which will open in 2020.”
The hotel will make a significant contribution to the growth of Remarkables Park, adding a unique point of difference to the 150-hectare multi-use retail, resort, residential and recreational zone. Holiday Inn will be located a few hundred metres from the retail and commercial centre of the Park, which is currently home to 65 businesses. There are also plans to add student accommodation, more residential, a retirement village, childcare, hospital, and a jet ferry service connecting Remarkables Quay to Queenstown Bay and parks and trails.
