IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced it is bringing the luxury brand to Barossa Valley with a 150-room property to be set among the region’s rolling hills and vineyards 60km northeast of Adelaide.

InterContinental Barossa Resort & Spa is subject to planning approvals, but once it receives the green light, construction will commence on the project.

Once complete, it will feature conference and meetings facilities for corporate getaways; multiple dining options, including a 130-seat signature contemporary restaurant; lounge bar; outdoor garden terrace; day spa; pool; and fitness centre.

“We are excited to bring our InterContinental brand to the Barossa, and would like to thank the IHG Hotels & Resorts Strategic Alliance team for partnering with us to invest in the future of South Australian tourism,” says Matt Tripolone, IHG Hotels & Resorts’ managing director, Australasia and Pacific.

“For the first time, the Barossa will boast a globally branded luxury hotel that will serve as an indelible beacon for guests seeking an unparalleled level of luxury and sophistication.

“Underpinned by stunning architecture and complemented by one of the world’s most recognised brands, InterContinental Barossa Resort & Spa will be the perfect destination for wine lovers, gastronomes and luxury escapists.”
