The Crowne Plaza Resort Colchester is leaving IHG.
Here is a hotel update for a property we have mentioned occasionally. The Crowne Plaza Resort Colchester – Five Lakes, one of the few IHG resort properties in the UK, has left the chain.
It is still on the IHG website but not bookable. The official hotel website is here and shows it operating as ‘Five Lakes Resort’.
