IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, announces the opening of Crowne Plaza Labuan Bajo, the second property in Indonesia under its premium Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts brand.
“We are delighted to bring Crowne Plaza to one of Indonesia’s most loved destinations with the opening 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.
Located just minutes from Komodo International Airport, the hotel provides a complimentary airport transfer for a seamless arrival. A miniature Phinisi ship at the entrance pays homage to Flores’ maritime heritage, while soft tones, natural textures, and Manggarai-inspired details define the interiors. The lobby leads directly to the pool and Uluwae Lobby Bar, creating an inviting place to relax.
Crowne Plaza’s signature “Crafted Connections” experience brings guests together through purposeful spaces and activities:
- Guest rooms follow the brand’s updated New Modern style, featuring calming designs with dedicated areas for work, rest, and sleep. Lively social spaces reflect the brand’s plaza concept, ideal for informal meetings or evening gatherings.
- The weekly Crowne Plaza Social offers curated experiences. At Labuan Bajo, guests can enjoy guided pairings of locally sourced Manggarai coffee with chocolate praline or kompiang.
- Daily wellness rituals are designed to support mental and physical wellbeing, including a Flores sunrise energiser shot each morning and a traditional Nectar drink in the evening to encourage restful sleep.
Dining plays a central role in the hotel experience. Pamakka All-Day Dining, named after a Manggarai tradition of welcoming guests with food, serves global comfort dishes alongside local flavours. Uluwae Lobby Bar offers relaxed refreshments inspired by regional ingredients.
The hotel’s ballroom can host up to 180 guests for meetings or celebrations, supported by a dedicated Meetings & Events Concierge. The Studio, a signature Crowne Plaza space, provides a comfortable setting for informal meetings, creative work, or relaxation.
Crowne Plaza Labuan Bajo is also committed to supporting the local community through a partnership with Asrama SLB Komodo, a school for underprivileged children, and through ongoing collaborations with local artisans, weavers, and musicians.
The hotel is part of the IHG One Rewards loyalty programme, which includes more than 6,800 hotels worldwide. The programme offers enhanced benefits across 19 brands and a more rewarding experience through the IHG One Rewards mobile app.
