InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) announced the opening of the Crowne Plaza Maruma Maracaibo Casino and Convention Center, in Venezuela’s second city, which is the heart of the country’s oil and petroleum industry.
Previously known as the Hotel Maruma Internacional, the property is located within ten acres of gardens and conveniently close to the main business and shopping districts. It also has the advantage of being the nearest hotel for La Chinita International Airport.
The casino, which is run by expert management group Tilley Entertainment, offers exciting gaming with over 300 slot machines and 40 tables including Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Caribbean Poker and Texas Hold’Em. The casino holds live music shows, big screen sporting events, special promotions and, according to one tourism source, “the friendliest and most professional casino personnel in Venezuela to help visitors feel welcome and enjoy their stay.”
The brand new Crowne Plaza Maruma Maracaibo Casino & Convention Center will participate in Priority Club Rewards, which has more than 30 million members, and is the first, largest and fastest-growing guest loyalty program in the hotel industry. Winner of the 18th Annual Freddie Awards hotel loyalty “Program of the Year” and named “Best Hotel Rewards Program in the World” by Global Traveler magazine, Priority Club Rewards offers more sought-after benefits and the greatest ease of use of any hotel loyalty program.
Giuseppe De Pinto, President of Hotel Maruma, C.A., commented: “We are proud to be a Crowne Plaza Hotel, as the brand is synonymous with luxury, high quality and excellence in service, as well as it is known for its great programs and high standards.” Alvaro Diago, Area President of IHG, Latin America, added: “We are thrilled about this new addition to our portfolio - this property is amazing and it is a perfect fit for a Crowne Plaza brand hotel, which is renowned across the globe as the ideal place for meetings, conferences and conventions.”
Will the plans for Russia's 'remote' gaming areas go ahead as the State Duma has described?
