The Crowne Plaza San Miguel Córdoba Golf & Resort, which is owned and managed by Proemtur, S.A., under a license agreement with a company in the InterContinental Hotels Group, sits on forty hectares of pristine countryside including a four hectares forest in a land of retreat known for its abundant beauty and sparkling rivers. Adjacent to the hotel is the historic �Casa Kronfuss� designed in 1917 by renowned Argentinean architect Juan Kronfuss.

Last year, IHG opened the Crowne Plaza Asuncion, which is the first IHG property located in Paraguay; the Crowne Plaza Guatemala in Guatemala City, Guatemala and the Crowne Plaza Curitiba in Curitiba, Brazil, as well as converted a Holiday Inn to a Crowne Plaza in Panama City, Panama. 

The Crowne Plaza San Miguel Córdoba Golf & Resort�s hotel amenities include an 18-hole golf course, spa, outdoor swimming pool, solarium, fitness center, tennis courts, 24-hour room service, business center, a restaurant and a lobby bar. All guestrooms are luxuriously decorated and equipped with wireless Internet access and dual-line telephones with voice mail. All rooms also have magnificent views of the mountain landscape. 

With calming nature views, travelers to Córdoba can find a relaxing contrast to the excitable city scenes of Buenos Aires. In Córdoba, voyagers can also find caves with prehistoric rock paintings and colonial Jesuit ranches. The Jesuit ranches contain the buildings of the Jesuit system, which includes a university, church and residences of the Society of Jesus. The farming estates contain religious and secular buildings, which illustrate the unique religious, social, and economic trial-era from over 150 years ago during the 17th and 18th centuries. It was declared by UNESCO that these ranches are to be known as �Humankind Cultural Heritage� districts. 

With nice weather and beautiful landscapes, the city of Córdoba is one of the most attractive places for tourists to visit. The construction of new buildings, shopping centers and new neighborhoods has changed the appearance of the city giving it a modern look, though it still retains its rich colonial heritage. Córdoba offers an array of activities, including swimming, climbing, fishing, horseback riding and nature trails for walking and bicycling. IHG also has a Holiday Inn located in the city of Córdoba that is within short proximity to the Taravela International Airport and is 5.9 km away from downtown Córdoba.
