Who we are Join Crowne Plaza, one of the largest and best-loved premium hotel brands in the world. With more than 420 hotels in diverse locations globally, Crowne Plaza is the perfect base to connect on business, pleasure, or a blend of both. We've thoughtfully designed our spaces to encourage, support, and celebrate great connections. We're also big on meetings and events, a trusted and valued partner for connecting both domestic and global groups alike.
Our branded service style 'Dare to Connect' is crafted for connection, designed for humans, not nameless guests or colleagues. Still professional but touches guests on an emotional level. Where colleagues take their initiative and use their personality because they make a crucial difference in the guest's experience. The role of every colleague at Crowne Plaza is to create memorable emotional connections and the job of every leader is to create an environment where that can happen.
