IHG Hotels & Resorts signs InterContinental Vilamoura – Algarve in Portugal on June 24, 2026, converting a Crowne Plaza hotel to expand its luxury footprint.

IHG said the InterContinental Vilamoura – Algarve in Vilamoura was scheduled to open in April 2027 after a comprehensive renovation of the current Crowne Plaza Vilamoura.
