29 March 2023 – IHG Hotels & Resorts has officially opened its first resort in Guam, Crowne Plaza Resort Guam, with a grand opening reception on Tuesday 28 March to celebrate the unveiling of the iconic beachfront hotel.

The opening reception and ribbon cutting event was attended by more than 200 dignitaries, guests and industry officials, including the Governor of Guam the Honorable Lou Leon Guerrero.

Won Pat International Airport.
