Crowne Plaza - North Augusta

Client Objective

The Crowne Plaza is owned by IHG hotels and has the mission statement to provide guests a hotel that they love by providing one of a kind hospitality. Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resort has over 420 locations worldwide, making it the 3rd largest upscale hotel brand in the world. The Crowne Plaza North Augusta opened its doors on January 14th, 2019. The hotel has 180 rooms and 11,243 SF of meeting space. The largest of the seven meeting rooms can accommodate 600 people.

NTI was the technology consultant on the design team for North Augusta’s new Crowne Plaza hotel, which boasts two bars and a wood fire grill restaurant. Guest rooms are configured with updated technology, including wireless coverage and multiple USB ports. We began with space planning, then designed the cabling systems, security, audio visual, and wireless networks.
