IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) has recently announced the opening of the completely renovated Crowne Plaza Danbury, formerly the Danbury Plaza Hotel. Located near numerous businesses and corporate offices in Danbury, Conn., just off Interstate 84 at 18 Old Ridgebury Road, the five-story, 242-room hotel offers first-class luxury accommodations; an urban and sophisticated design, using a mix of bright and muted colours that has transformed the hotel’s appearance; exceptional meeting facilities; and close proximity to leisure attractions.
For meeting and events, the hotel’s 26,000 square feet of meeting space has been completely remodelled. It includes 14 meeting rooms and three ballrooms, the largest of which can accommodate a banquet for up to 500 guests.
Among the major corporations with nearby locations are General Electric, Boehringer Ingelheim, Honeywell and Pitney Bowes. The Crowne Plaza is also just a short distance from Western Connecticut State University and Danbury Hospital. The hotel offers easy access to major airports in both Connecticut and New York.
New to the hotel is Jays, a sleek and exciting restaurant and lounge with urban sophistication. Serving upscale, casual American fare, the restaurant’s signature dish is the Jays’ Filet, with house-made steak sauce and truffle fries. Guests can also enjoy casual dining at the Fusion Café, which serves breakfast and lunch, and get a drink at Whisper’s Lounge.
Amenities at the Crowne Plaza include a fitness facility, full-service business centre and gift shop and an indoor, heated pool and outdoor tennis courts that will open this summer. Free wireless Internet service is available in guest rooms and public areas.
The Crowne Plaza Danbury is independently owned by Jesta Hospitality CT, LLC, and operated by JBHA Management under a license agreement with a company in the InterContinental Hotels Group.
