Premium brand Crowne Plaza expands in France with family-friendly destination just minutes from Disneyland Paris
IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) has signed Crowne Plaza Paris – Marne-la-Vallée in partnership with Danish real estate company Proark. Slated for full conversion in the second half of 2026, the 250-room property will combine leisure, business, and lifestyle experiences—located just ten minutes from Disneyland Paris, one of Europe’s top attractions.
The addition strengthens IHG’s growing premium leisure portfolio in Europe, where Crowne Plaza already counts more than 90 open hotels and 17 in the pipeline, including imminent debuts in Tajikistan and Türkiye.
Set in Magny-le-Hongre, a region celebrated for its rolling landscapes and cultural heritage, the hotel offers proximity to local treasures such as the 11th-century church of Sainte-Geneviève and the scenic hills of the Grand Morin. Families, business travellers, and leisure guests alike will enjoy an indoor and outdoor pool with wellness facilities, two restaurants, a social hub with bar, and state-of-the-art meeting spaces—including a versatile ballroom designed for impactful conferences and gatherings.
Willemijn Geels, VP Development, Europe, IHG Hotels & Resorts, commented:
“Crowne Plaza Paris – Marne-la-Vallée represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring one of the world’s largest premium hotel brands to a landmark leisure destination. France remains a key market for IHG, and we’re delighted to strengthen our premium footprint in partnership with Proark.”
Michael Brag, Chairman of Magny-le-Hongre Hotel, Proark, added:
“This project marks an exciting new chapter for our property. Together with IHG, we’re creating a modern, sustainable hotel that elevates the guest experience and maximises value for this exceptional destination.”
With more than 400 hotels worldwide, Crowne Plaza continues to lead the premium segment with its refreshed design, service philosophy, and blended travel focus. The Paris signing adds to IHG’s growing footprint in France, where the group currently operates 70 hotels and has 10 more in the pipeline—including the French debut of the Vignette Collection in Théoule-sur-Mer.
