InterContinental Hotels Group announced today the opening of its latest Crowne Plaza hotel in Herndon, Va. (US), just two miles from Washington Dulles International Airport and twenty-two miles from Washington, D.C.

We look forward to providing our industry leading meetings service and a great night’s sleep via our Sleep Advantage program at the Crowne Plaza Dulles-Airport.”

The hotel offers contemporary décor with warm woods and chrome accents throughout the guestrooms and lobby. All guest bathrooms include granite counters and tile surround tub/showers. There are plans to open a Houlihan’s restaurant at the hotel this June, where guests can enjoy casual dining for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as a lively bar and happy hour.
