Senior InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) management joined guests from all over the world for a night of 1920s nostalgia and themed entertainment for the grand opening of InterContinental Hua Hin Resort on Nov. 6. The theme of the 1920s for the opening was chosen to celebrate the royal destination of Hua Hin and in particular the Summer Palace that was built in that era by Thai King Rama VI, from which InterContinental Hua Hin Resort draws design inspiration.

IHG Vice President Operations Southeast and Southwest Asia Jolyon Bulley gave an opening speech for the resort saying that InterContinental Hua Hin Resort would be a flagship property for the global group and a clear benchmark for expansion for the resort product in the region. The gala evening was capped off with a champagne reception for dessert by the resort's Fireside enclave and a fireworks display while the lights of hundreds of small fishing boats lit up the Gulf of Siam in the bay outside the resort to celebrate the occasion. An after party at The Roof lounge bar area featured a DJ playing to guests while a live jazz band entertained revelers at La Residence Royale. For more information, visit www.ichotelsgroup.com.
