The Danbury Plaza Hotel reopened under its Crowne Plaza brand, with a new restaurant called Jays and extensive renovations.
The Crowne Plaza Danbury has some 240 rooms and a ballroom that can accommodate 500 people. Richard Bair is general manager of the hotel, which is owned by Jesta Hospitality CT L.L.C. and operated under license with InterContinental Hotels Group.
InterContinental also runs the Crowne Plaza Stamford and Holiday Inn hotels in Stamford, Danbury and Bridgeport.
“We’re pleased to bring the Crowne Plaza brand to the Danbury area, especially in a location that is perfect for business travelers and under an hour”™s drive to New York City,” said Gina LaBarre, vice president of Americas brand management for InterContinental, in a prepared statement. “There are several major employers in the area that will benefit from the meetings-savvy products and services that only a Crowne Plaza provides.”
