Description

There's nothing complicated about dealing with business people.

They're just people. Doing business.

By day, international marketing superhero

By night:
fluffy bath robe and a box set.

Like Liz, who's left her laptop cable in the cab. Or Mario, who's secretly missing his cats. The
early riser, who's first in the gym. The sales team preparing for the 'big pitch' over a
freshly prepared lunch. At Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts, we embrace the new world of
business and understand that Modern business travellers want a hotel (and a hotel team)
that understands and supports them, helping at every turn.
