InterContinental Singapore partners with NuCalm 

Luxury Hotel Innovates Wellness Tourism with Global-First Sleep Enhancement Offering InterContinental Singapore announces a global-first within the IHG Hotels & Resorts portfolio: a partnership with NuCalm, a cutting-edge, neuroscience-based wellness technology designed to support deep rest, stress recovery, and peak mental performance. This revolutionary offering marks a bold step in redefining restorative travel in the luxury space. As the first IHG property worldwide to integrate NuCalm's full Sleep Performance Suite including the acclaimed DeepSleep program, InterContinental Singapore transforms every guestroom into a personalized haven for physical and mental rejuvenation. NuCalm uses neuroacoustic software and patented frequency stimulation to gently guide the brain into desired states of relaxation, focus, or deep sleep, empowering guests to recover from jet lag, prepare for important meetings, or prioritize self-care while travelling. A Revolution in Rest: Deep Sleep at Your Fingertips NuCalm's DeepSleep program is a cutting-edge, patented neuroacoustic software designed to guide the brain into its most restorative states of sleep. By gently synchronizing brain waves, DeepSleep allows users to fall asleep with ease, sleep deeper, and wake up feeling truly refreshed and renewed. With sleep deprivation on the rise due to stress and travel fatigue, DeepSleep offers an accessible and highly effective solution for both business and leisure travelers. At InterContinental Singapore, DeepSleep will be available via in-room sound bars, transforming the guestroom into a sanctuary of sleep. Guests may select the DeepSleep journey on the NuCalm mobile app or in-room interface, letting the program work effortlessly in the background throughout the night. Andreas Kraemer, General Manager at InterContinental Singapore shares: "Wellness continues to be a key priority for our guests, so we are proud to bring NuCalm's transformative technology to InterContinental Singapore. By offering innovative, science-backed tools like the DeepSleep program, we can offer more ways for our guests to feel their best; whether that's better sleep, more focus, or improved recovery. This isn't just about elevating luxury; it's promoting holistic wellbeing at every stage of the guest journey."

Jim Poole, CEO of NuCalm shares: "We're thrilled to partner with InterContinental Singapore to bring NuCalm's neuroscience-based wellness technology to the hospitality space in a truly integrated way. By embedding NuCalm into the guest experience, we're expanding the reach of our mission: to make deep rest, mental clarity, and stress recovery achievable for anyone, anywhere, even while on the move."

InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping earns LEED Gold Certification

The recently renovated InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping has earned LEED Gold Certification, becoming the first hotel in Chiang Mai to be recognised for its sustainability initiatives.  In its first LEED certification since opening, the hotel achieved a total of 65 points out of 100, earning top marks for water efficiency, innovation and focus on region-specific priorities. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the world’s most recognised green building rating system and focuses on sustainable living, the health of people and the environment. A leader in sustainable hospitality, InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping is now part of a select group of eco-friendly and innovative properties around the world that meet the exacting LEED Gold criteria.  According to general manager Adnan Yucel: “When redesigning the iconic hotel that is now InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping, energy efficiency and sustainability were always at the forefront of our priorities. We are immensely proud that our dedication has been recognised with LEED Gold Certification. By combining the latest in green technology and architecture with deep respect for Thailand’s cultural heritage, we are committed to leading the way in sustainable luxury.” Staying sustainable  To reduce water use, the team at InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping relies on 100 percent recycled water for landscape irrigation, and recycled water and water-saving fixtures for indoor systems.  By choosing native and adaptable plants for its gardens, the hotel has not only contributed to restoring and protecting habitat areas from development and construction activities but has also ensured a significant reduction in water usage. As part of the efforts to minimise nighttime light pollution, backlight reduction lamps soften exterior glare, while facade and landscape lighting automatically turns off between midnight and 6:00 am. To reduce energy consumption, solar panels connect directly to the hotel’s electrical system, bypassing battery storage, and cover over three percent of the annual energy cost.  In addition, high-performance laminated glass has replaced the original vision glass, ensuring enhanced energy efficiency throughout the building. Finally, to mitigate the effect of tropical heat, light-coloured pavements were chosen for the hardscape areas.  With over 45 percent of the site dedicated to open spaces, including diverse green zones, social areas and recreational spaces, both guests and team members can enjoy social interactions in calming natural environments. Sustainable by design The hotel’s design, highly ranked by LEED for its commitment for innovation, celebrates Lanna culture by including such elements as the Pan Ya-style roof which was inspired by the region’s vernacular architecture. Such elements form a spiritual link between the modern building and the heritage temple on-site.  Inside, carefully chosen graphics, textures and materials inspired by Lanna elements blend contemporary geometric structures with a time-honoured cultural identity.

InterContinental Halong Bay Resort set to become area’s first luxury destination resort

InterContinental Halong Bay Resort is slated to become the new jewel of Ha Long Bay when it opens this summer. The resort will offer curated experiences tailored for leisure seekers, culture enthusiasts and nature lovers alike from luxury cruises through Ha Long Bay and exploration into hidden caves, to visits to fishing villages for an authentic glimpse into life on the water. The resort’s architecture, led by WATG, reflects the heritage and vibrancy of the region, weaving together narratives from ancient folklore and celebrating the dramatic interplay of land, sea, islands and inlets that define Ha Long Bay’s natural beauty.  With interiors by P49Deesign, the resort’s lobby takes inspiration from Vietnam’s traditional bamboo basket boats, while guest rooms highlight the striking colours of land and sea with turquoise blue upholstery, brass accents, and playful textures reminiscent of fish scales, rippling waters, or iridescent pearls throughout. Located at the gateway to Ha Long City, in the exclusive Ha Long Marina Urban Area, just outside the vibrant streets of Bai Chay, the InterContinental Halong Bay Resort is conveniently located just two hours from Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport.  Offering a luxurious retreat, the resort will provide the perfect base for travellers to explore the natural beauty of Ha Long Bay, and a great accommodation for pre- and post-cruise stays. Where comfort comes first The resort will feature 174 guest rooms and suites, 60 residences and 41 private villas. In light of the fact that today’s travellers lead diverse lives, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts acknowledges the need for seamless transitions throughout their day.  To address this and enrich the travel experience, the brand will help guests shape-shift through their day at its hotels and resorts.  Initiatives include scientifically backed food and beverage programmes designed to reduce travel fatigue while multiple dining venues cater to differing guest needs from morning to night.  All guests will also receive access to Timeshifter, a jet lag app which enables international guests to use the latest circadian science to adjust quickly to new time zones. Well-appointed meeting spaces and dining venues Featuring five dedicated event spaces and breakout areas equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the resort will welcome corporate meetings and events, weddings and celebratory milestone occasions.  The elegant Grand Ballroom is the largest space, accommodating up to 1,050 guests in a theatre setup, 810 for receptions or 680 for banquets.  Additionally, there are four versatile meeting rooms as well as outdoor venue options, including a manicured garden with a capacity of 330 persons and a terrace accommodating up to 390 persons for receptions. The resort will also boast of six eclectic dining venues that will take guests on a culinary journey of regional and international flavours.  Signature restaurants will include Roku & Sky Bar, located on the 10th floor of the resort’s rooftop.  Inspired by the Land of the Rising Sun, Roku & Sky Bar will offer a menu of specialty Japanese cuisine infused with local flair.  From handcrafted cocktails to a traditional Sake Library, this rooftop destination, with a dramatic hanging bamboo art installation evoking the legend of Ha Long, will provide a unique dining experience, complemented by panoramic views of the bay.  Yulong Mansion is a two-story venue that will offer a modern Cantonese dining experience. It will feature multiple private dining rooms, an open kitchen allowing guests to watch chefs at work, as well as notable tableside preparations such as Peking duck carving, elevating the dining experience with culinary craftsmanship. Relaxation and recreation for everyone Spa and recreational programming will also be introduced at the resort.  The spa will collaborate with Margaret Dabbs London, a luxury British beauty brand, and Sodashi, an Australian clean beauty brand, who will provide wellness treatments ranging from healing facial rituals to nurturing, sensory body therapies for ultimate wellbeing.  From beach activities such as volleyball to outdoor archery, three outdoor pools, the family-friendly Planet Trekkers kids’ club and The Game Room, which will feature a cinema, will ensure all generations are entertained.
