InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, announces the signing of two new properties in Mazatlán, one of México’s top leisure destinations. The Holiday Inn Express® Mazatlán Marina hotel and Holiday Inn Resort® Mazatlán hotel are both expected to open in late 2016 and will join IHG’s Crowne Plaza® Mazatlán resort already open in the popular resort town. More domestic and international travellers are discovering Mazatlán, making it an ideal choice for these new hotels.

The oceanfront Holiday Inn Resort Mazatlán hotel will be located on Playa Gaviotas 220 in the trendy Golden Zone district, an upscale area of the city with hotels, fine dining and nightlife. The resort will feature 150 guest rooms and amenities including an outdoor swimming pool with water games, a fitness center, two meeting rooms, a restaurant, a lobby bar and ample parking. The property will also be in close proximity to several golf courses.

The 124-room Holiday Inn Express Mazatlán Marina hotel will be located on 2207 Marina Avenue, less than a mile from the Golden Zone district, only five miles from the marina and 12 miles from the General Buelna International Airport. The property will be part of a mixed-use development featuring a shopping center, apartments and restaurants.

Both hotels are independently owned and operated. The Holiday Inn Resort Mazatlán hotel is owned and managed by Desarrollos Turísticos Clami, S.A. de CV. The Holiday Inn Express Mazatlán Marina hotel is owned by Desarrolladora de Hoteles Mazatlán SAPI de C.V. and managed by Ximetria.
