IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, announces the opening of Crowne Plaza Labuan Bajo, marking this as the second property under IHG’s premium brand, Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts to open in Indonesia.
“We are delighted to bring Crowne Plaza to one of Indonesia’s most loved destinations with the opening of Crowne Plaza Labuan Bajo. We wanted the hotel to reflect on the calm, inspiring energy that Labuan Bajo exudes — a place where guests feel welcome right away. Perfectly placed to meet the needs of today’s guests, whether they are travelling for business, leisure or a blend of both.” said Rajiv Srivastava, Cluster General Manager, Crowne Plaza Labuan Bajo and Rumah Luwih Bali.
The hotel sits just minutes from Komodo International Airport. Guests can hop on the complimentary airport transfer and arrive at the hotel to check in and start exploring. A miniature Phinisi ship welcomes guests at the entrance, a simple tribute to Flores’ seafaring heritage. Soft tones, natural textures, and subtle Manggarai- inspired details shape the hotel design. Just beyond the lobby, the pool and Uluwae Lobby Bar beckon guests to lounge and unwind.
Experience Crafted Connections at Crowne Plaza properties globally, bringing guests together on their own terms, through thoughtfully designed spaces and purpose-driven experiences:
● The updated New Modern style from the brand features calming guest rooms with three distinct zones for work, relaxation and sleep, while vibrant social spaces bring the spirit of the plaza to life – ideal for everything from casual meetings to evening drinks.
● The new Crowne Plaza Social runs weekly and allows guests to connect over curated experiences. At Labuan Bajo, guests are invited to celebrate Flores’ rich flavors in a unique guided pairing of local coffee (Manggarai) and chocolate praline or kompiang, guided by the hotel team.
● The brand has also developed a series of daily rituals designed to promote mental and physical health during guests’ stay globally, such as Labuan Bajo’s Flores sunrise energizer shot in morning to kick start one’s morning to an evening local traditional Nectar drink, a calming wind-down moment before restful sleep.
Dining is at the heart of the experience. Pamakka All-Day Dining, named after a Manggarai tradition of welcoming guests with food, brings together global comfort dishes and the flavors of Flores, and the Uluwae Lobby Bar keeps things relaxed with drinks made from regional ingredients.
For meetings or celebrations, the hotel’s ballroom accommodates up to 180 guests. The new Meetings & Events Concierge ensures seamless coordination and personalized service at every touchpoint – for planners, attendees, and guests alike. The Studio — a signature Crowne Plaza space — offers a relaxed setting for meetings, creative work, or unwinding without the formality of a traditional meeting room.
Crowne Plaza Labuan Bajo is also committed to the local community, including a partnership with Asrama SLB Komodo, a school for underprivileged children. Local artisans, weavers, and musicians are part of the hotel’s ongoing effort to keep culture alive and celebrated.
The hotel is the latest addition to more than 6,800 hotels within the IHG One Rewards loyalty programme. Centered around guests, the best-in-class loyalty programme offers richer benefits at 19 leading hotel brands and more ways to be rewarded than ever before, all powered by leading technology through the IHG One Rewards mobile app.
