InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has announced the launch of the new Nordelta Tigre - Buenos Aires Hotel, Residences and Spa to the north of the Argentinian capital.

The 149-room property - owned by Complejo Bahia - will be operated by IHG's Americas division under a long-term management agreement. Facilities include a 850sq m (9,149sq ft) spa with five treatment rooms, as well as a separate individual beauty treatment area comprising three additional rooms.

Products at the Nordelta Tigre - Buenos Aires Hotel, Residences and Spa are to be supplied primarily by Belnatur, although Mirador lines will also feature. Other facilities include a fitness centre; an indoor and outdoor swimming pool; six meeting rooms with a capacity of up to 600 people; and restaurants and a bar.

IHG Latin America and Caribbean vice president of sales and marketing Ricardo Lopez said: "[Argentina] is a country with strong domestic demand, and with great appeal for international travel." Meanwhile, IHG has also opened a new property in the heart of Porto, Portugal, which has been designed by Russia-based Alex Kravetz to encompass Portuguese décor.

InterContinental Porto-Palacio das Cardosas is within the boundaries of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers 105 bedrooms, a gym and wellness centre.
